Stefan’s career began as an accountant at Re-Solve, which not only sparked his passion for water delivery and savings but also instilled a strong sense of social impact. Observing the dire circumstances of rural African communities lacking access to water, he felt compelled to make a difference.
Taking action, Stefan founded Linkup Youth, dedicating time to uplifting black youth by equipping them with essential skills and helping over 1500 individuals find their first jobs over the last 3 years, despite facing severe poverty. Now, as he pursues an MBA at Fuqua, Stefan is determined to enhance his business acumen and his ability to create sustainable social ventures. His ultimate goal is to contribute significantly to Africa’s youth by developing products that will enhance access to both renewable energy and essential services and empowering its people through education that enables them to realize their full potential and that will lead to an entrepreneurial revolution in its rural communities.
