TEAM INFORMATION

DEREK DRAYTON Founder/Managing Director: I’m just someone with a passion for taking on ventures worthy of sleep deprivation. Born in the UK, I grew up in T&T from the age of 2yrs. Armed with a B.Sc. in Business Management and a UK based MBA I understand the importance of a solid foundation. Yet, I value work and life experience the most. I spent most of my career as a Multi-national Regional Manager where I grew to appreciate how great talent comes in many different human packages. After living 5yrs in Dominican Republic I returned to T&T in 2008. While my Spanish fades, my Trini Dialect rocks! My small but precious family includes my "spicy" +90-year-old Montserratian math-teaching mom, my yoga-loving Trini wife, and our lively, bedtime-negotiating toddler daughter. 

 

ZAF RAHAMAN Web Designer/Digital Strategist: I'm the owner and founder of Forward Multimedia, a Trinidad based website design company now over 10 years . Through my experience acquired on the ground since 2011, I’ve become known as one of the foremost authorities in E-Commerce, especially as it pertains to Trinidad & Tobago.

Born in T&T, I studied business and accounting, moved to New York where I lived for 10 years and moved back in 2010. I love to write AND love to write on everything website and E-Commerce related to help business owners in Trinidad & Tobago get the most out of their online presence.

Coincidentally, I picked up photography as a hobby in my youth; I even enrolled in a correspondence course— now I wish I had finished it...

 

NADINE EVERSLEY Business Development Manager: I am a Professional Photographer with a passion for photographing pregnancy and the changing faces of children. I specialize in newborn photography and take great time and care when capturing these precious little beings. I have six "angels” of my own and they keep me both young and very busy all at the same time.

I also have a weakness for beautiful flowers and often spend hours in the zoo and gardens capturing their beauty. I love to travel throughout our two beautiful islands with my family and experience their magnificence.

 

SHAWN WONG Corporate Secretary: I have gathered over 24 years of experience as a qualified accountant, under both the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) professional bodies in the United Kingdom. During this time  I've danced to many a tune within the oil and gas industry, following the beats of multinational corporations. When I'm not crunching numbers, I'm an enthusiastic traveler, embracing the world's cultures with my amazing wife and adorable toddler. Oh, and did I mention I'm a diehard carnival "Mass-man"?
