Being great in entrepreneurship isn’t always about what you do, but how you do it. Pape has been an entrepreneur since the age of 13, starting businesses to solve social issues. He has built a number of global partnerships to move this initiative forward. I consider him to be very resourceful, reasonable, and most importantly resilient. He continues to seek the next challenge to utilize his skill set, knowledge and years of direct experience of learning concepts, training and development methods and techniques.
His new venture EXELEADMEN (Executive Leadership, Management and Entrepreneurship), provides leaders, entrepreneurs, and students with the knowledge, tools and network to create economic value by creating societal value and enabling a strong entrepreneurship ecosystem for youth, women and underprivileged communities. He is committed to helping organizations create shared value through social purpose and earned income. Pape takes nothing for granted, appreciates everything, and continues to give. He has never compromised his values or beliefs to advance his career, for money or to achieve company goals. He is a great entrepreneur because he starts companies to “change the world.”
