Transforming Ecosystems through Decentralized Marketplaces and Shared Platform Businesses Hi, I'm Shane Radford, an experienced entrepreneur and former IBM grey-beard with expertise in driving large scale business and digital transformation, combined with impactful technology innovation, and a passion for equality. My focus is on building decentralised marketplaces and shared platform businesses that contribute to sustainable, inclusive growth, and shared value economies. Current Initiatives: Marketplace Maker: Our mission at Marketplace Maker is to digitise Africa's supply networks. We're building multiparty B2SME marketplace ventures that connect established corporations with underserved emerging economies. Our goal is to digitise, aggregate and orchestrate trade with and between small and micro enterprises (as digital cooperatives) for sustainable economic development. We envision equitable trade and shared ownership in Africa, for Africa, by Africa. Wazee: Wazee is a decentralised digital platform business dedicated to digitally transforming skills development, building a globally accredited and skilled agile workforce (as-a-service), and unlocking the potential of the world's youth. Our mission is to export Africa's youth to the world. Film Spaza: We're on a mission to re-imagine an equitable and inclusive film industry by aggregating independent creators and distributors, orchestrating the development, production, curation, distribution, and exhibition of films for underserved communities, and incorporating brands, communities, and audiences into local stories. We are committed to empowering and developing women, youth, and persons with disabilities while facilitating shared value equitably. Personal Purpose: My personal purpose is to create net new self-sustainable quality jobs in the platform and marketplace ecosystems we digitise. Let's connect and explore opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and make a meaningful impact together.
