Chad Fraser is an entrepreneur at heart. With over 15 years of experience in the Information Technology industry, his profession spans ICT solutions development,  research and advisory, business process reengineering, change management, IT Strategy, governance and quality assurance. He spent his first 4 years in the workforce as Chief Technology Officer at Ameltek, a Technology solutions company. He was also once the lead consultant for the development of a centralised criminal record and law enforcement information system for the Royal Grenada Police Force. 

Chad started his entrepreneurship journey by establishing Sonover, a software development company that partners with organizations regionally and Internationally to facilitate their planning, design, development and implementation of digital transformation initiatives. He then went on to establish Qualishore, a Business Process Outsourcing provider that emphasises the use of technology in its offerings. Chad is passionate about building capacity in young people since he believes that our most valuable asset is the creativity and skills of our youth.

In this episode, Chad and I talk about growing through academic struggles, being an inventor, and the future of technology in the Caribbean.

We hope you enjoy the journey on today's Pathway!
