Meet the Founder :  Empowering Lives Through Knowledge and Competency

Born and raised in Nigeria’s vibrant city of Benin, I was blessed with two loving parents who instilled in me strong Christian values and a passion for education. Both my parents were entrepreneurs, and my mother, in particular, played a significant role in shaping my entrepreneurial spirit from a young age. She taught me the importance of multiple income streams and encouraged me to always have my own business, regardless of my job.

Upon moving to the UK, I embarked on a journey of both work and education while simultaneously starting various businesses. Although these ventures faced their share of ups and downs, I learned invaluable lessons along the way, which eventually formed the foundation of my life principles, which I fondly refer to as the 3Ds.

The 3Ds

Determination, Discipline, and Devotion became the guiding principles that kept me going, even during tough times. I was determined to avoid menial jobs and uphold my beliefs, yet I had to take up such jobs to support my family. My unwavering faith in myself and the belief that I could achieve my dreams through entrepreneurship kept me going.

One of my proudest moments was when I pursued a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program focused on Project Management. The experience exposed me to real-life projects and further fueled my passion for this field. Additionally, I earned full membership in the Institute of Engineering and Technology, among other notable organizations.

Empowering the Next Generation

 Giving back to the community and empowering younger generations hold a special place in my heart. More than anything else, this remains a top priority for me. I find immense joy in sharing the knowledge and experiences I have gathered over the years to help others change their lives for the better.

Founding Cedar Pro: The Birth of a Vision

From my desire to empower lives and foster positive change, Cedar Pro was born. We believe that empowerment is a life gift, and our mission is to create opportunities for people to enhance their lives through knowledge and competency. God bestowed empowerment upon humankind, and we aim to embrace this divine gift to its fullest extent.

A chance meeting with Mr. Anthony at church was serendipitous. Our shared passion for bringing value to people’s lives has united us in a common cause. Together, we are committed to making a positive impact and enabling individuals to realize their full potential.

At Cedar Pro, we are not just a company; we are a movement to transform lives and communities.

Meet the Founder: Empowering Communities Through Tech and Education

 Born in the picturesque town of Koforidua, Ghana, I was blessed with a unique cultural blend. My mother, being British, and my father, a Ghanaian, provided me with a diverse upbringing. In search of better opportunities, my father moved to Italy, and later, he brought us to the UK.

My upbringing exposed me to the struggles of my parents and their peers, who often found themselves trapped in menial jobs, earning meager wages due to a lack of knowledge, skills, and experience. This realization fueled my determination to create a positive impact in my community and beyond.

My professional journey in the UK began with my studies in Business Management, which sparked a desire to explore the endless possibilities around me.

 

A Trail of Ventures

Inspired by the untapped opportunities, I embarked on a series of ventures, testing multiple business ideas. While some ventures faced setbacks and failures, each experience was a valuable lesson that led me closer to discovering my true calling.

 Amid the trials and errors, I stumbled upon the internet rush and the booming world of e-commerce. Venturing into this realm, I started to witness the sweet taste of success. This journey of trial and error not only brought business achievements but also provided me with valuable self-awareness.

Throughout the journey, I unearthed my innate abilities and capabilities. Recognizing these strengths, I began to align them with the market’s demands, carving a path towards fulfilling careers.

 

Tech Entrepreneurship: The Turning Point

 In 2014, I seized the opportunity to establish a tech business, specializing in website development and consulting services for major companies, along with expertise in project management. This venture proved to be a game-changer, propelling me towards the achievements I have today.

 

A Vision Rooted in Empowerment:

Cedar was founded with a simple yet powerful mission – to empower individuals and communities with the essential skills, knowledge, and experience required to transform their lives. Through technology and education, we seek to uplift our community and, in turn, contribute to the betterment of the world.

Destiny brought Mr. Ogie into my life during our time at church, and we immediately connected over our shared vision of education and empowerment. Recognizing the significance of technology as the bedrock of society, we decided to join forces and embark on this transformative journey together.

 

At Cedar Pro, we believe that everyone deserves access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in the modern world. Through our tech-driven approach and commitment to education, we aim to equip individuals and communities with the power to create their own success stories. Together, let’s build a brighter and more empowered future for all.
