We’re very interested in the African market. There are many challenges to overcome, but I think there is a lot of potential and that Kenya will be one of the better places to do business.
Hey Steve!
Awesome!!! I did not know you are a googler! That’s really cool!
I was once at this conference where someone stated that in Africa the possibility of things getting worse is minimal since she has seen quite a bit and so there is a lot of room for a lot of development and the like. It is only that she presents a challenging market but all the same a promising one. And I do believe Kenya would be at the forefront! In my opinion, the only thing that holds back Kenya is the country’s general infatuation with politics.
So tell me, how is it working at google. I am sure by now you have gathered that I am a google fanatic!
