In November 2019, entrepreneur Jenna White identified a need for good service and communication in the telecoms industry and founded a startup with her business partner. Today, she is the MD and co-owner of Xpedite Africa, a successful and fast-growing company that specialises in providing enterprise LTE, business fibre, virtual APN, bonded connectivity, event WiFi and more. Their personal approach sets them apart, with packages and options to suit every client, and a huge emphasis on top-tier service. “We pride ourselves on our support, which is the best in the industry,” White says. Just like Xpedite Africa, White herself is proof that anything’s possible.

She never set out to be an entrepreneur. “My mother believed a woman’s place was to get married and be at home,” she says. “I married young, had children, tried being a stay-at-home wife, and hated it. I was frustrated, bored, and loathed housework!”
