Scaling the Next Wave of African Travel & Tech brands

I arm Africa's boldest start-up leaders and businesses to build lasting legacies — connecting ecosystems, accelerating growth, and bridging local ambition with global opportunity.

Partnerships aren’t optional—they’re how you earn trust faster than you can build it alone.

  • I’m a natural connector who loves hospitality, spotting great ideas early, and helping them go from zero to their first big moment. For over 10 years I've worked with the leading Travel Tech companies and players across EMEA and US. I'm an entrepreneur through and through — restless, agile, always on the lookout for solutions.

  • Everything I do is rooted in one central belief — the best lever for growth is designed through networks. Whether we're building your GTM roadmap, opening doors, or scaling your presence in African markets, we’re building Partnerships and Strategic alliances as a real engine.

  • From fast growing startups to seasoned brands, I partner with people who refuse to do things halfway.

From the Ground Up

From the Ground Up *

  • Your future buyers and best partners haven’t discovered you yet—and that needs to change. We build a stronger local presence by ensuring your positioning and tech infrastructure are ready for them. It’s time to dig into your product’s readiness and lay the foundation for a confident, successful go-to-market.

  • Giving founders a clear structure to grow — a honest roadmap leading to a business development approach including an ecosystem landscape built for their growth stage.

  • Mapping out the relevant ecosystem and match-making to the right operators, governments, tourism boards, accelerators, and global influencers who open doors, spread the word, and turn your vision into a movement.

  • By combining a strong product with sharp market intelligence, we build the engine that powers revenue and implement frameworks to accelerate your growth regionally, and even scale globally.

Testimonials

  • “As our first Head of Partnerships at UpMarket, Eva created the structure we didn’t have. She categorised every partner relationship, mapped the entire tech ecosystem and built a priorisation framework. She took over an exclusive deal with a major PMS to handle the contractual negotiations, launch GTM coordination and handled very delicate messaging with patience and precision. Eva is the person who turns partnerships into a real strategic engine! ”

    —Shani Cohen, Founder & CEO at UpMarket

  • "Eva has been one of the growth engine behind Mews’s growth, firstly in her exemplary leadership in Account Management and in her role in Partnerships where she really grow into her own. She is fantastic in understanding the complex dance between proving value for partners - as well as creating great value for Mews through mutually beneficial programs."

    —Richard Valtr, Founder at Mews.

  • "Eva was instrumental in building our partner ecosystem from the ground up, combining sharp strategic insight with a rare ability to understand stakeholder needs and create mutually beneficial partnerships. She led with integrity, earned trust through genuine connection, and consistently delivered meaningful results. Beyond execution, she strengthened our team by offering thoughtful, honest feedback and challenging us to pursue the right path, not the easiest one."

    —Erlendur Steinn Gudnason, Co-Founder & CCO at Sweeply

The fastest-growing tourism region on the planet, driven by easier visa access across borders, better airline connectivity, rising business travel, strong diaspora demand, and the political will to make the next decade its own. Longer-term trends like urbanisation and a growing middle class are also making Africa more connected and more appealing to global travelers. The opportunity for innovative Travel Tech brands to plug into this wave has never been bigger.

Africa is leading.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I help accelerate your growth and generate demand for your product/service through hands-on business development expertise. My services support founders and CEOs directly, providing a strategic GTM roadmap that spans across Branding, Strategic Partnerships, and Marketing.

    Every advisory is tailored to the stage of growth, specific needs, and the gaps that need to be filled to accelerate results.

  • Every new project begins with a 30-minute consultation to get to know each other and understand your goals and vision for the future.

    If it feels like a good fit, we follow up with a short workshop-style call to identify gaps and define a clear path forward for our collaboration.

    Based on this, I create a tailored proposal outlining how I can support your strategy and timelined roadmap, including key objectives for the period.

    Once the proposal is approved, we start working together—either on an hourly consulting basis or as a project-based engagement.

  • Often product-focused, founders have limited time to build the right partnerships that drive growth, momentum, and a competitive edge.

    In the early stages, many struggle to adopt a true partnership mindset—missing the opportunity to create 1+1=3 synergies by aligning multiple parties around a shared goal, and overlooking the long-term value of strategic collaboration.

    As they scale, day-to-day operational demands take over, leaving little room to develop partnerships into a real revenue engine.

    At every stage, partnerships are critical to growing, scaling, and gaining visibility—both locally and globally.

  • I work wherever demand takes me. Across the continent, there are fast-moving markets and rising stars in both tourism growth and tech, fueled in part by governments easing visa requirements and boosting intra-African travel.

    Each country comes with specificities, feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss this further.

  • I provide strategic advisory services —either on-demand pay per hour call, or monthly project-based engagements, with a minimum time commitment.

  • I’m dynamic, collaborative, and straightforward, I like to move fast 🙂. When I join a project I believe in, I’m fully engaged and focused on results. I value clarity in the process and like to guide it end-to-end, making sure we not only generate great ideas but also keep things moving and track real outcomes. Most importantly, I love working in a positive, supportive environment where motivation and momentum stay high!
