PargoChief Of Staff
Jul. 2020 - Feb. 2022Cape Town, Western Cape, South AfricaPargo is a smart logistics company that makes delivery more accessible, affordable and convenient through a tech enabled network of Pargo pick-up points. They connect companies, couriers and consumers both locally as globally by allowing them to send and receive parcels at these Pargo points located at convenient retail stores across Africa. Pargo solves the challenges of last-mile distribution in Africa, where 75% of the population live and work in areas that have limited access to goods. These areas include informal settlements and rural areas, which often lack residential addresses and are inaccessible or very expensive to service by couriers. High security housing estates, large office buildings and universities are other examples of areas where a courier delivery is almost impossible. Pargo has won various awards and honours, including Seedstards Start-Up Awards (2016), Alibaba eFounders Initiative (2017), Finalist at FNB Innovation Awards (2018) and became an Endeavor company during the 82nd ISP in Argentina (2018).
