CEO & Co-Founder @ Menufinder Africa | Building Africa's 1st Curated Food Delivery App | Speaker
Alex Darko Jr. is a man with a mission, a visionary who has set out to transform Africa's food culture in a bold and exciting way. As the CEO and co-founder of Menufinder Africa, Alex isn't just running a business—he’s building Africa's very first curated food delivery app, a game-changing platform that delivers high-quality meals from the continent’s best handpicked restaurants, straight to your doorstep. It's not just about convenience; it's about crafting a culinary experience that connects people to the finest flavors of Africa.
But Alex’s story is far more than just food delivery. With over a decade of experience spanning sales, IT, banking, and creative industries, he's a master of many trades. His expertise stretches across marketing communications, social media, and creative direction, and his love for food, photography, and technology drives his innovative approach. Imagine combining a passion for gourmet dishes with cutting-edge technology—that’s the magic Alex brings to the table.
Before blazing his trail with Menufinder Africa, Alex was already a heavy hitter in the corporate world. He managed strategic partnerships with top-tier companies in retail, insurance, and airlines, always with a knack for aligning big brands and unlocking opportunities for growth. His talent for building strong relationships and steering strategic initiatives set him apart as a leader who doesn’t just see the future—he creates it.
His journey took him across Africa, where he led business operations for a global tech company in West Africa, overseeing growth and expansion in markets as dynamic as Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa. From directing Pan-African initiatives at DV8 Technology Group to driving creative solutions at Blond Moment Creative Media, Alex was always at the forefront of change, pushing boundaries, and opening new frontiers.
But even as he built his corporate credentials, Alex’s heart was in making a real impact on the ground. That’s why Menufinder Africa is more than just a food delivery service—it’s a vision for empowering local restaurants, creating jobs, and transforming the way people experience food in Africa. His big dream? To make it effortless for people to discover the flavors they crave while boosting the growth of local culinary talent across the continent.
And let’s not forget Alex’s early days—he started as a music producer with a fresh digital sound that resonated across the world, working with artists in the UK, France, Sweden, and South Africa. His creative energy knows no bounds, and it’s this unique blend of creativity, strategic thinking, and passion that makes Alex Darko Jr. a force to be reckoned with. From the streets of Accra to the boardrooms of Johannesburg, Alex has never stopped dreaming big. And now, with Menufinder Africa, he’s on a mission to change the way Africa eats, one delicious delivery at a time.
