Erick Oude

At the the heart and soul of a company are the people. At Zeraki, we have been lucky to build, train and lead high performance winning teams that have proved exceptionally effective at solving some of the toughest challenges facing education in Africa. I am passionate about leveraging technology to accelerate learning, support data-driven decision and deliver innovative solutions that prepare our children and youth for dignified and fulfilling work. I like to win, and I go out of my way to support my team and make sure they the tools, training and environment they need to succeed. I treat people with respect & dignity and I will occasionally bend over backwards to make people feel comfortable, but I am also big on accountability and ensuring everyone is pulling their own weight. Tough love if you may. I have excellent people skills, exemplary work ethic and I am ruthlessly efficient at running operations. I am the kind of person you call when you are in a crisis and you need someone you can trust to provide back-up and put out fires.
