People say the nicest things
Sam Slaughter - CEO and Co-founder
“Johannes supported PowerGen as we crossed a critical inflection point for the business and broke the threshold of over 10,000 connections on our micro-grids, spreading over 4 Sub-Saharan countries. For more than one year, Johannes led a streamlining of our recruitment processes and the implementation of competency frameworks across all our teams. His support during this critical time for the company laid the foundations for solid and stable growth of our team. Working with Johannes was a pleasure, and he was a huge asset to our organization and our mission.”
Jussi Hinkkanen - CEO
‘Samaki supported us during a time of accelerated growth for the organization. For over three months, their expertise on lead generation, training and HR processes provided us with a clear return on investment. With little instruction, Johannes became a natural member of the Fuzu team and a valuable sparring partner to the senior leadership.’
Arthur Jacquiau-Chamski - COO and co-founder
‘Finding the right partner is not always easy - but Samaki made it easier for us. Using their expertise and local knowledge, they were able to find and vet a network of potential partners in Nairobi based on our needs. In their communication they are attentive, responsive and personal. As SparkMeter continues to grow in Africa, we are excited to be partnering with Samaki.’
