Succeeding in African E-commerce and Mastering Team Building - Daniel Maison

Episode 002 features Daniel Maison, co-founder and CEO of Sky.Garden. Born and raised in Kenya, Daniel went to university in South Africa. After graduation, he landed a job at a local corporate incentives company, Uwin Iwin. This changed his life. He discovered a knack for sales and business development, not to mention a keen interest in consumer psychology. He returned to Kenya to set up the East Africa office. A fateful Skype call changed his life yet again. After sharing the vision of 2 Danes for an ecommerce platform targeting informal merchants, he joined the team of Sky.Garden as co-founder and CEO. As you will hear, Daniel is a fervent believer in the core mission of Sky.Garden: increasing the productivity of its merchants and improving their livelihoods. This conviction has translated into outstanding growth figures and scalability in interesting and unpredictable ways. I had a great time chatting with Daniel. We talked about his work in corporate incentives, why Sky.Garden puts informal merchants at the center of everything it does, the secret to building a great co-founder team, the unconventional advice that shaped his life, and his take on the adage “time is money.”
