His good friend, Derick Adjakwaku was a highly experienced Sales and Marketing professional with a strong Finance and Research background.

He had over 10 years of proven track record of success in working for and with high profiled organizations, providing high-level sales and marketing functions, consistently improving business performance, and delivering professional services to various stakeholders.

Although the causes of death of both friends are not known, it is thought that there is probably a link or a common reason.
