The Partners

Bertram Hodge, Patrick Manneh, and David Geary have known each other for almost 30 years.  Liberia's civil war brought them together and they've stayed in touch ever since. They are seasoned professionals that have led successful careers in their chosen fields.

• Bertram’s mechanical engineering expertise will prove critical in developing safer operational and maintenance policies of land-based and sea-based equipment.
• Patrick’s experience in financial management and auditing will be vital in avoiding the pitfalls of fiscal irresponsibility.
• David’s technology and entrepreneurial skills will direct the logistics, operations management, and growth of the company.

They bring a variety of expertise and experience necessary to launch a business of this scope.  Their different skills complement each other and provide balance.  As Liberian and US nationals, the combination provides a unique advantage in successfully navigating the political, economic, and social challenges the business will encounter. The team’s ethnic diversity stands as an example of the accomplishments to be achieved through integration.

It is not a matter of “what” we give back to the communities we connect, but “why” and “how” we envision giving back to the communities we connect.  Their passion for the peoples of Africa drives their vision.  Sea Star Enterprises is just the beginning.  Join us in this adventure.
