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 B2SME2x marketplace ventures that bridge established corporations with underserved emerging economies. Our goal is to digitise, aggregate and orchestrate small and micro enterprises capabilities while facilitating impact funding for disruptive innovation and sustainable economic development. We envision equitable trade and shared ownership in Africa, for Africa. Wazee: Wazee is a decentralised digital platform business dedicated to transforming skills development, building globally accredited and skilled contingent 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 at least one million net new self-sustainable quality jobs in the platform and marketplace businesses we build. Let's connect and explore opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and make a meaningful impact together.
