Let me introduce you to a sports management professional and social entrepreneur who is not afraid to venture into the unknown. Someone who believes in pushing himself to limits in life in spite of difficult situations. Someone who has many ideas and wanting to see them come into being, knowing that it requires hard work and dedication. Sometimes they work well, other times they don't, but stopping and giving up is never an option.

Yes, that's me.

After having been in the worlds of banking, marketing and the food industry, the time finally came for me to venture into the one thing I have always loved most: sports. I am a recent MBA graduate from the LaLiga-UCAM University in Murcia, Spain I completed an internship at AD Alcorcon, a second division football club (that nearly made the playoffs for promotion to the first division) in Madrid. Currently, I am working on and a project which is starting a new business and building a social network for amateur football players and in other sports as well. As always, with my businesses, I work with complete integrity and honesty. In a world where agents and representatives of players mainly put their own interests ahead of the players they represent, I solely work in the interest of the people I deal with, and I can say that while beating my chest. Plus I deal with anyone regardless of their sporting affiliations.

My interests in sport include football, boxing, tennis, motorsports (F1 and MotoGP), basketball and athletics. I am an ardent follower of several sporting clubs and personalities, such as FC Barcelona, AC Milan, FC Bayern Munich, Feyenoord, ADO Den Haag, Movistar Yamaha MotoGP team, Novak Djokovic, Floyd Mayweather, the Williams sisters, Usain Bolt and many others.

I was born and raised in the Netherlands but am Ghanaian by nationality and ethnicity. In high school in Holland and during my MBA I had the privilege of being in an international class with students of 18 different nationalities, and this has enhanced my knowledge of multiculturalism and I have no problem dealing with people from different backgrounds. This is especially important, as my company, Centa14 Sports and Entertainment, seeks to become global one day. But in the meantime, our focus is to raise the level of sports in my country, Ghana, to a higher level than it currently is. One of our main objectives is to make the sporting achievements of Ghanaians match their talent.
