CEO's Welcome

Hello everyone and welcome to the Global African Business Association and it's an honor to serve as your Group Chief Executive Officer of this wonderful organization.

As we celebrate our 10th anniversary this year, we must understand that all of Africa's daughters and sons must take part in the connection between the continent and the African-Caribbean Diaspora. In addition to closing the gap, it is our duty to seize our own possibilities rather than letting others take advantage of us or work against us.

When the Global African Business Association (GABA) developed its strategic plan in 2014, we set out to establish a dedicated African-Caribbean economic development team focused solely on marketing the region to global business leaders and attracting investment to the network here in the United States.

We accomplished the feat in a spectacular way by 2023 by achieving multiple projects, job matching and helped launch new enterprises and partnerships, thanks to our Board of Directors and Advisors, government, technology and business intelligence. That is the kind of performance required to fulfill our aim of being one of the most successful and inclusive areas in the state.

This impact reflects our growth as a business, from four people in 2014 to a growing staff of more than 30 experts internationally. Our team is responsible for actions that create jobs and attract investment, including travel to domestic and foreign markets in the African-Caribbean Diaspora, as well as providing talent solutions and partner connections to firms expanding here.
