Genius, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and author- and Ghanaian. Such words can only describe Kadmiel Van Der Puije, a man known for his many achievements and incessant titles.
Van Der Puije had a different coming of age story in comparison to many entrepreneurs who have always been applauded for their academics and ambitious nature. At a young age, Van Der Puije wasn’t all that invested with his education, and was unaware of imperative things regarding it, resulting in him not graduating from high school at the appropriate age. Upon such, he immediately took action to revitalize and create a new name for himself, one that could not be associated with failure. As a student at Nova Southeastern University studying business administration, he took over his father’s business as CEO of the Voice of Africa, a media platform that intends to build a pan-African bridge and give a voice to the unheard by having them provide African-related news to the African public and diaspora.
With an intent to create a brand from himself outside of his family, this motivation speaker and youth leader at Dominion Life Ministries International, Co-Founded both Experience Africa and Experience Africa Tours; a pan African event held in DC (celebrating the West Indies and Africa) paired with a tourist counterpart, that seeks to guide those affected by the diaspora to parts of the vast continent in hopes of promoting sustainable development.
His titles and ambitions didn't stop there, Van Der Puije formulated a management and digital consulting firm, referred to as Dervan Solutions; a vessel used to uplift upcoming brands- specifically African ones- when dealing with the harsh economy. As the Managing director of Nabern Publications, publisher company, it only makes sense for him to have a writing passion as he authored The Improbable Journey, a 2016 novel following Asher Young and his little league soccer journey published in 2016.
Amongst his many other ambitions, it can be seen that Van Der Puije mainly focuses on the youth of Africa and how to build them up as he maintains his position as CEO of The Father’s Haven Children’s Home and the Amy Butler Foundation- a foundation that is rooted in the assistance of the underprivileged African child.
