Jacob was born in one of the most deprived areas in Accra. His father was a mechanic and his mother a hawker. He hawked with his mother while growing up and at a point became a cobbler. With a determination to increase his income stream, he tried a number of businesses; he tried music, became a footballer and started out as a journalist for a media company. One day on his way to cover a story he met a boy who told him about programming and became interested. He learnt how to program and digital skills even without a laptop by moving from one café to the other, this set the pace to be the beginning of Adroit 360.
Today Adroit 360 has grown to become a premium preferred tech company that offers its services to multinational companies, top companies in Ghana and other startups as well. Today Adroit has expanded to employ 25 young individuals.
Jacob continues to share his story, to inspire many young people like himself tobe persistent and proactive in taking up opportunities to better their lives.
