Profile Information
- Source of my passion about the power of business to fight poverty
- I work for a company
- About my work:
- Large businesses have many learnings, skills and experience to offer their local communities. This can help enrich and strenghten communities and thus in turn transfer skill sets to help them fight poverty - be it monetary or social poverty.
I work for a large global corporation in the energy sector. My background is business process reengineering and change management. I am also very interested in diversity and talent management. I chair an employee network in my company - one of our top prioroties is encouraging our members to give back to the community through mentoring, coaching and sponsorship.

Many thanks for your comments.
I organise empowerment seminars, conferences and workshops for the African and Afro Caribbeans communities in London (including other ethnic communities) - these events are mostly contracted as I also work 9 to 5 (funny - also in the energy/oil sector)
I also assist these communities to 'tap' into the opportunities being offered by the corporate organisations to support grassroot businesses/social enterprises in the society by providing them these information at these events.
I am however planning to host a summit on the 12th of September and I can send you more details if you will be able to attend/participate in a workshop? I am sure we can work together on this as I can 'sense' a similar goal sharing in what I do and what you are promoting at work.
I am so excited you connected!!! Lets talk!
Have a great weekend ahead and hope to speak with you soon.
Regards,
Timi Delete Comment
