I believe that humans were created in the space between vivid light and clouded darkness. In each of us, then, lies the promise of both brightness and obscurity. The story of human history illustrates this potential for great generosity and extreme violence. What motivates me is not pushing back the darkness with my own limited means — this would be pretentious and impossible. Instead, I am passionate about providing as many people as possible with a tool that can collectively move us out of ignorance towards empathy and mutual support: education.

Over the past 15 years, we have launched dozens of products internationally, from virtual campuses for universities and large corporations, to virtual incubators in the metaverse. Today, many companies in the USA, Canada, the EU, and Africa have benefited from our digital products, and we are proud to pave the way to the Metaverse for universal education and professional development.

I am deeply motivated by the potential I see in 21st-century technologies to impact education. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence, and its impact on the job market (job displacement), we know that hundreds of millions of people will have to be retrained to fill the needs of tomorrow’s job market. With 41% of its population under the age of 15 years old, Africa is/will be at the center of these societal changes. It is my belief that online education can move education in developing countries forward at a rapid rate, skipping over traditional steps. Just as many African countries have bypassed telephone landlines to jump straight to smartphone technology, online education through the metaverse will soon provide access to better quality education. I am proud to be able to participate in this transformation by implementing new and innovative digital products all over the world.
