African Entrepreneurs - Addis Alemayehou
In the lead up to the publication of 'African Entrepreneurs - 50 Success Stories' I am highlighting some of the fifty case studies in the book.
This week is Addis Alemayehou, is the founder and Managing Partner of 251 Communications which is a PR/communications firm in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Alemayehou is also the founder of Paconet Media PLC, a privately held media firm, which include the first privately held English FM Radio station (105.3 Afro FM) in Ethiopia. He is also co-founder of the Kana TV which is an Ethiopian general entertainment, free-to- air, satellite TV channel bringing international standard programming to the Ethiopian population.
Alemayehou, who was awarded a Distinguished Service Award from the US Department of State, serves on the Board of ICTET, the private sector ICT association in Ethiopia; on the Board of the Ethiopian American Business Forum, and on the Board of the African leadership network, the premier gatherings of the “Next” leaders of Africa who meet once a year to share ideas and promote inter Africa cooperation.
When asked what does success mean to him, Alemayehou says;
"Success is doing what you love and making a living out of it rather than doing what someone else wants you do to. The best way to achieve long term success is to always innovate, understand the market needs and make a calculated forecast of the future market needs as well."
You can read the full interview in African Entrepreneurs - 50 Success Stories which is available through all good bookstores including Book Depository who at the moment are offering a pre-order discount and free shipping to most countries.
Steve Emecz is by day the CCO of collectAI, a Fintech artificial intelligence specialist in the field of receivables, and in his spare time runs a social enterprise publishing company MX Publishing which supports a number of projects in Africa and the UK.
