Three friends who got tired of watching good talent go unseen.
I come from finance and audit, and I kept seeing the same thing: business owners buried in admin and messy books while the real work waited. I started Lantern & Brain so owners could hand that load to one dedicated virtual assistant they can rely on, with someone like me checking the numbers behind them.
There is so much skilled, hardworking talent across Africa that never gets a fair chance at global clients. I started Lantern & Brain to change that. I find and screen every virtual assistant, and I only put forward people I would trust myself.
I believe a good personal assistant should be trained properly before they ever meet a client. I joined Lantern & Brain to make sure every assistant is tested and ready from day one, so our clients get help they can rely on.
