Meet the AfricaSokoni Team: Bernard O Franklin (Vendor Relationship Manager)
By Miriam Karanja
To call the man we are about to talk to a hustler; would be an understatement. This is a man with every possible (working) experience under his belt and has been among other things an academy manager, survey team manager, telemarketer, sales executive, and even a teacher.
Today on Meet the AfricaSokoni team, we talk to our current VRM (Vendor Relationship Manager) and the Key Account Manager for Computing and gaming Benard O. Franklin.
Biko who has been with the AS team for close to two years now describes his everyday job as building and maintaining a good relationship with our vendors. However, he currently took up being the KAM for our Computing and Gaming accounts, something which he is passionate about both at work and outside the workplace.
He describes the best part of his job as meeting with people from different backgrounds and different cultural beliefs, and is a strong believer in “You can learn something new from every person if you listen keenly enough.”
Outside of the workplace, Biko is a businessman, a father of one, a football fan, a Hip Hop Music connoisseur, and a gamer.
He lives by the quote “Nobody gives you a chance, you have to take chances”
