Andre's Story
From Corporate IT to Your Trusted Guide in Africa
After 25 years in America—with 16 of those years building a successful IT career managing multimillion-dollar projects at IBM and other major corporations—Andre looked at his finances and realized something:
He wasn't prepared for the future he wanted for his wife and three kids.
So he made the bold move. He relocated his entire family to The Gambia. His children were just 13, 10, and 7 at the time.
It wasn't his country of birth. He started fresh. Learned the systems. Built trust. Faced every challenge diaspora families fear.
But out of that struggle, he built success:
A thriving security company with 40+ staff
A media company impacting thousands
A secure base for his family to thrive
Today, Andre helps diaspora professionals avoid the traps he once faced.
You don't need another agent. You need someone who's walked the same path, built institutions that last, and knows how to protect your capital while building your legacy.

Andre and his team walked us through each stage, connected us to trusted partners, and made our transition seamless.
It’s more than relocation — it’s restoration"

"After 25 years in Canada, I was scared of losing my savings to scams.
