In a statement released on Tuesday, the Board said the appointment of Mr Asare as Chief Executive Officer is takes immediate effect.
He will manage TechGulf continental operations and lead global technology partner product sales, and services on the African continent. In his previous role as Country Director of Oracle Ghana, Asare was instrumental in the establishment of the Ghana-Oracle Digital Enterprise Program (GODEP), an initiative in partnership with the Government of Ghana, that help startups scale and grow with the resources of the Silicon Valley Technology giant.
Franklin Asare said, “I am thrilled to join the experienced TechGulf team and look forward to building on the incredible foundation the Board has set, to grow the organisation into the leading technology partner and premier provider of tech products and services in Africa.”
Committed to providing accessible technological solutions to all businesses on the continent, and streamlining business connections with U.S. partners, TechGulf guides U.S. technology companies as they navigate the complex bureaucratic processes required to conduct business in Africa.
Its first strategic partnership is with Overland-Tandberg, a developer and manufacturer of hybrid cloud IT infrastructure and data protection solutions, and also the largest privately held Black-owned global technology company in the United States.
