Founder + CEO

Our founder, Kofi, started our public health firm due to his personal experience with health disparities within his family. Over the years, Kofi has endured a cascade of premature deaths from various illnesses among his Ghanaian relatives, ranging from cardiovascular diseases to cancers. Kofi uses public health to help create healthier futures for the families that you serve so these families do not endure the same experience with health that he underwent. Utilizing his public health expertise, Kofi partners with health institutions to provide social research and health education that truly encompasses methods suitable for culturally diverse audiences.
