Work Background
A2SV | Africa to Silicon ValleyHead of EMEA Partnerships
Feb. 2023A2SV - Africa to Silicon Valley is a nonprofit social enterprise that enables talented young African software engineers to create digital solutions to Africa’s most pressing problems. We upskill high-potential university students, connect them with internship interviews at the world’s top tech companies, and enable them to create digital solutions to urgent problems in their home countries. The program is free for students, making the opportunity available for youth with talent but lack the means to use it. A2SV’s rigorous training program prepares students for internships with companies like Google, Palantir, and Coinbase. The internships give students the experience they need to design and build products that improve the quality of life in Africa. The first group of A2SV students achieved a 54% (12/22) success rate at Google internship interviews for summer 2021. As a Head of EMEA partnerships at A2SV , it is my immense pleasure to create and carry out Partnerships in the EMEA region (and beyond!) and put African tech talent on the tech world map.
Mirna Bacun, LinkedIn lead generation expertLinkedIn Lead Generation Expert / B2B Consultant/ CEO
Jan. 2016 - Apr. 2024When I started my LinkedIn consulting business in 2016 (that was a LONG time ago!), I always held a vision that I wanted to create long-lasting, organic LinkedIn strategies not only for my own business but to also fit the needs of my audience and their particular businesses. With that vision in mind, I soon realized that most LinkedIn consultants in my space are actually just regurgitating old information and strategies that they've picked up from one another - and selling them as their own. It was clear from day one that I would NOT share that same faith, and having trust in my own abilities, I started to develop, test, and validate my own organic LinkedIn lead generation frameworks. My focus was to create LinkedIn strategies based on integrity and ethics, that will also work long-term because I was never about getting rich quick. Getting rich quickly usually leads to burnout and is not sustainable. Also, I never sold anything to my audience that I never tried and implemented in my own business FIRST. Eight years later, I can proudly say that my LinkedIn organic strategies always stood the test of time and as the market shifted - while others were struggling, we were thriving. With serving over 600+ unique customers (over 1,500+ customers overall) and clients over the years, I’ve tapped into 20+ industries, from financial advisors, tech companies, NGO’s, coaches and consultants… …enabling them to scale their businesses with LinkedIn in a way that fits their selling style and their business - while utilising the power of LinkedIn to the fullest. Looking to do the same? Send me a DM or a connection request and let’s chat.
The Foundation HQBusiness coach and LinkedIn lead generation expert
Dec. 2013 - Jul. 2014I taught my students how to start their businesses out of nothing by using lean startup techniques like market research, idea extraction, market validation and pre-selling their products before they launch. Also, I taught them how to use LinkedIn to start their market research, get first traction and feedback, validate and test out their ideas and get quality leads and their first potential clients. LinkedIn lead generation also works if you don't have a product, company or an e-mail list yet!
GreenpieCEO/ LinkedIn lead generation expert/ Growth strategist
Oct. 2013 - Jul. 2016Zagreb, SofiaGreenpie was a VC-backed health-tech SaaS company offering software solutions and providing business education to nutrition providers. While working on my startup, I've been able to use the power of LinkedIn to grow it and became a LinkedIn lead generation expert, a CEO, and a Growth Strategist all at once (that's what usually happens to a startup founder, we wear many hats!) I built a profitable LinkedIn Group Funnel and generated almost $50K of ARR in 2015 by using only LinkedIn - and without spending a dollar on ads. After closing Greenpie, I used everything I learned and tested in the startup and turned it into a system that I now call the 70/30 LinkedIn Funnels Framework. If you are struggling to get quality leads and clients on LinkedIn, grow your business and you haven't been able to get the results you've been looking for and don't want to come off as spammy, salesy or pushy here... Then I invite you to send me a message and see if I can help turn that around (I am pretty confident that I can).
The Foundation HQLinkedIn lead generation expert and softwaare entrepreneur
Oct. 2012 - Jun. 2014By using what I learned in The Foundation, I founded my first software startup with only $800 dollars and no business or marketing skills - and turned it into one of the most promising European healthcare startups. I used LinkedIn to find my target market, research their problems and validate my software idea - and after that, to pre-sell the software before we wrote a single line of code. This was an amazing experience because it taught me that I only need to listen to my potential clients and ask questions to be able to make a product that really solves their problems - and that they want to pay for. Learning how to use LinkedIn to get first traction, validation and first sales was valuable because I taught me that you don't have to have a marketing budget to build your product or get first revenue.
FreelanceMotion Graphic Designer / Video Editor
Jan. 2005 - Jan. 2012Working with my clients in video production was the first step in understanding what lead generation actually is - it's all about building trust, nurturing relationships and over-delivering amazing work. Underpromise and overdeliver is what I learned while working as a Video editor, and it helped me to be a better LinkedIn lead generation expert today. I teach all my clients this mantra today, because the only way to appear as an amazing partner and problem-solver is to actually - be one. This is what will keep clients coming back to you.
