About the author

Kim H. Rasmussen was born in Denmark in 1957 and started his career as a shipping trainee with The East Asiatic Company in 1977. From 1991 to 2012 and again in 2015-2017 he lived and worked – primarily as a managing director of private companies – in Nigeria (1998-2011), Ivory Coast (1991-1995), Tanzania (1995-1998) and Ghana (2011-2012.

From 1998 to 2006 he was the managing director of the dairy company, Fan Milk, Nigeria during which time he lived in Ibadan. He then changed jobs and became regional director of Vestergaard with the responsibility of selling long-lasting insecticide treated mosquito nets in Nigeria and 8 other West and Central African countries until 2011.

These experiences have given Kim H. Rasmussen a solid knowledge of life on the African continent and particularly how to be successful in a very different – and sometimes extremely challenging or even corrupt – business environment.

He is now based in Denmark and since 2018 he has concentrated fully on his work as an author and public speaker.
