Our Leadership Team

One
half of Moko’s founding team, Eric has a history of joining
organizations at their early states and creating successful projects
from promising ideas. Before founding Moko, he worked as a Programs
Director with top global charity Evidence Action, leading a program that
scaled to serve over 1 million people in 3 countries. 

As
Moko’s inspirational captain, Eric builds and supports all of the Moko
departments, sets the strategic direction of the company, and manages
relationships with investors. 

Great
ideas aren’t the only thing Eric cooks up! After spending his days
steering the Moko ship to new horizons, you’ll find Chef Kous whipping
up delicious food in the kitchen.

Fio is the other half of Moko’s founding team. Before his Moko days, he
worked in public health as a Technical Project Lead with Dimagi, leading
the implementation of a new mobile-based drugs distribution system that
reduced stock out rate and was scaled nation-wide in Senegal.

Fio
is integral in creating and operationalizing Moko’s core culture values
across all teams. He also leads the team in innovating new furniture
products that are sure to put smiles on customer faces and grow the
number of “Mokofied” families.

Don’t
let Fio’s cool demeanor fool you. He has a serious talent for inspiring
employee passion and excitement. That enthusiasm translates flawlessly
to his football team, Napoli, as he cheers them on with high-pitched
screams that he swears helps lead them to victory.

“E”
is for efficiency and Eileen is all about it! Beginning her career at
USG Sweetwater, Texas as a project and process engineer, she eventually
worked her way up the ladder to manufacturing management.

As
the Head of Manufacturing at Moko, Eileen’s role is to ensure that
we’re making enough products in the most efficient, productive, and safe
way. More efficiency = more Mokofied homes!

Eileen
likes to keep things real chill when she’s not busy overseeing product
manufacturing. To unwind, she enjoys a good book, a comforting cup of
hot tea, and music. In fact, in another life, she’d probably be a
singer.

Alexander
brings almost two decades of manufacturing and operations experience to
Moko. He has processed tea, macadamia nuts, and dried fruits, and has
managed the Macadamia, Cashew and Fruits supply and value chains. When
employed with Tensenses Africa (EPZ) Ltd, Alex oversaw a 400% increase
in manufacturing capacity for macadamia nuts, as well as aggressive
manufacturing expansion into dried fruits for export.

As
Moko’s Deputy Head of Manufacturing, Alex is in charge of the day-to-day
manufacturing operations and functions to ensure the cost effective,
safe, and efficient production of high quality products. Alex also
monitors the strategic growth and expansion initiatives, with the
current focus on the foam production line.

A man of deep
faith, Alex enjoys spending time with family, watching Christian movies
(his favorite is Courageous) and jamming to Christian music.
