Illeme and PFS Staff in Ghana

Long-time PFS Volunteer Visits Mentee and PFS Staff in Ghana

Dr. Illeme Amegatcher has volunteered with PFS since 2013 and is currently Co-founder / Technical Manager at the General Mills Venture Studio. Since February this year, Illeme has been mentoring Henry Nartey, a Quality Assurance Officer with Praise Exports Services Limited (a Ghanaian company that processes and exports food such as edible palm oil, canned palm fruit concentrate to Europe and North America). 

Henry’s goal through this mentorship is to learn and acquire more knowledge. He is fortunate to have been paired with Illeme, who has over 14 years of experience in the food industry, building a unique set of skills including strategy development and execution, technical problem solving, forming and leading teams, etc. While visiting family in Ghana, Illeme made time to connect with her mentee Henry and some of the PFS team at the office in Accra. It’s great when mentees and mentors have the rare opportunity to meet and connect in-person!
