Interview with the CEO Foodpreneurshub
Why did you decide to be an entrepreneur?
Entrepreneurship gives me the opportunity to be fulfilled. I am fulfilled and happy when I see the positive impact my work has on people’s lives and the world at large.
What inspired the idea of the “Foodpreneurshub” brand and when did you start your initiative?
Foodpreneurshub started as a blog in 2019. I have a lot of food business ideas because of my training as a Food Technologist and also my 7 years of work experience in food manufacturing. I believe sharing this knowledge will help others with food processing ideas, which will eventually help them start their business. My passion to help create jobs led me to start Foodpreneurshub.
What motivates you and what are the principles that guide your business?
The Impact of helping as many people establish a food business motivates me. The ripple effect is, the business owners are empowered financially, jobs are created, food produced/manufactured helps reduce world hunger and agro produce waste is reduced. Knowledge should not be a barrier for anyone interested in starting a food business.

In your industry, what makes you unique?
My specific knowledge of food science and experience in the food manufacturing industry makes me unique. It is the technical knowledge of food processing. My training is also robust in the sense that other topics necessary to start a food business are taught. Such as how to achieve safe and quality food products, regulatory requirements, pricing, and marketing.
What has been your greatest entrepreneurial success?
My greatest achievement so far is training over 100 people in different food business topics and establishing food processing businesses.
What is your favorite aspect of being an entrepreneur?
It is meeting people and being part of the success stories of my students. There are people I will never have met if not for Foodpreneurshub. The relationship I have built with some of my students and food entrepreneurs is something I am most excited about.
What is the most challenging of being an entrepreneur?
Like most entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship is 24/7. It requires time, money, and effort.
