Founder & CEO
Theo conceived of MDG Achievers after learning about the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). He saw how lack of awareness about and funding for the MDGs were the major obstacles to their achievement. He felt the MDGs could be achieved by providing a revolutionary type of campaign solution to all the relevant parties - people, NGOs, businesses and governments - to create exponential global awareness. This campaign solution would be supported by relevant value added services which would translate that awareness into purposeful and successful collective action, generating significant funding for realising the goals while economically empowering people working to achieve them. MDG Achievers was then designed by combining Theo's Unified Campaigner™ and P2PCampaigner™ technology models and built with a team of young brilliant minds to be that solution.
Theo has worked with Non-Profit Organizations, Small Businesses, Corporations, Multi-Nationals and Government; His experience covers sales, business development, management and consultancy across Internet, Telecoms, Media, International Trade, Health, Direct Sales and Business Networking sectors.
Theo was involved in the introduction of pioneering Unified Communications technologies into Europe for Vivao Plc, Technology and Marketing consultancy for telecoms companies Transnet, Euphony and Stanhope, and while with Hanson Cooke publishing, facilitating international Public-Private Partnerships at Board and Ministerial level for the Commonwealth Secretariat.
Theo is the founder and ceo of The People's Vision which develops transformational ICT (Information Communication Technology) and Business systems designed to empower people and facilitate the emergence of a fairer, more connected and sustainable world.
