FounderRosa is a first-generation immigrant born in Belgium who has spent two decades living and working across Asia in senior mergers & acquisitions roles for Goldman Sachs, Cisco Systems, and Accenture using her native French and fluent English and Mandarin to connect international interests. After years of globetrotting, she found home in East Africa when she and her family arrived in Kampala in 2015.
Rosa’s business approach is a unique blend of corporate and start-up experience. During her move away from banking she found yoga, kitesurfing and pole dancing where she gained a balanced and holistic perspective and is now a certified teacher for yoga and pole-dancing. Now she uses her energy to empower other female entrepreneurs in Uganda from Kampala where she resides with her husband and daughters.

CommunicationsJordan grew up in rural Oregon with a deep appreciation for nature and explored it through the sciences by studying biology and chemistry. He embarked on his first journey outside of North America by volunteering as a Peace Corps public health worker in Uganda for a two-year contract, that was extended for a third year. After briefly working with an international gender-based violence prevention training program with men, the pandemic forced him to make a decision on where to be and he chose Uganda.
Late in 2020, Jordan joined forces with Rosa as her business partner, drawn to the intersection of health, agriculture, and sustainability which aligned with his love of nature and creating access and opportunities for marginalized communities. He has embraced the dynamic and diverse social atmosphere of Kampala, where he is always eager to learn something new from everyone he meets.
