A conversation with Martha Haile: Working for two high-growth startups in Africa
How many people can say they worked for one, let alone TWO high-growth venture backed startups?
That is what makes Martha Haile a rare individual in the African Tech ecosystem. Martha started her career in governance and management consulting in the US but when the opportunity arose, she joined one of Africa's popular AgriTechs, Hello Trackor, as COO. She spent more than four years leading the global operations of the startup, where she led innovative social impact programming to increase smallholder farmers’ access to tractor service. She also designed, developed and implemented all the donor-funded projects. Her current role is at the $38mn VC-backed AgriTech, We Farm, as a VP for Africa where she supports the growth of the company across its African markets.
