BRIGGETTE HARRINGTON

President - Harrington Dorsey Inc, UNITED STATES

Entrepreneur, business development specialist and trainer extraordinaire,  Ms. Harrington holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from California State University, Los Angeles in Business Management with a concentration in International Business.

 

Ms. Harrington founded Harramor Enterprises Ltd. in Washington, DC.  The company imported fresh agricultural products and foodstuffs from West Africa, while providing consulting services to U.S. based companies with investments in Ghana.  Ms. Harrington and her team trained 77 farmers in northern Ghana on the post-harvest handling, storage and transportation of agricultural products going into the export market. A follow on contract through USAID allowed for the training of 24 exporters of non-traditional products in exporting products to the U.S. successfully.  Her team trained participants that were “export ready” on U.S. Customs, USDA, and FDA regulations and procedures. Of the 24 exporters, five participated in a trade mission, along with six government officials, to the U.S. to follow their products to market.

 

In May of 2006 Ms. Harrington launched Golf World Ltd. in Ghana through foreign direct investment as a sole investor.

 

In December 2009 Ms. Harrington appeared on the cover of Black Enterprise Magazine as one of the few entrepreneurs of African American descent that moved, invested and operated a business in Sub-Sahara Africa
