Tony Smith to create 20,000 jobs in the ICT sector in 2015

Tony Smith, a young Cameroonian CEO of Limitless Corporation, a company specialized in software, smartphones and tablets design, foresees growth in his venture.

Recently acclaimed in the Choiseul ranking of the "African leaders of tomorrow," the former project manager at Microsoft aims to create not less than 20,000 jobs in several industries in 2015, an ambition related to his 2014 Choiseul ranking.

He admits, "after the publication of this report, many companies or investors interested in development issues in Africa have contacted me to discuss the prospects for technological development in Africa."

The Choiseul ranking that has revealed Tony Smith to the world "identifies women and men aged 40 and under, who are committed to the path of success and whose ambition is to bring Africa the highest degree of economic, social and cultural development," according to the president of the Institut Choiseul, Pascal Lorot.

"Whether they are at the head of large companies, SME managers, investors and holders of personal structuring projects, they all have in common excellent academics, influential networks, an extraordinary potential and ability to do so without common measure," says Lorot, portraying winners of Choiseul.

In total, 10 young Cameroon aligned leaders are in the top 100 "African leaders of tomorrow," which Jean Paul Melaga is the first Cameroonian and 13th overall.

He is the Director of African Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi and former Director of African Renaissance Capital.
