Ify Ifebi is a proud event junkie and social entrepreneur and the founder/CEO of vendorspace. She studied marketing at Howard University while simultaneously building her love for events. Her entrepreneurial journey straight out of college; she became notorious for hosting sold-out events on campus, which led to the opportunity to make her hobby, an actual profession: producing live events for the greater good. Having personally experienced the obstacles and challenges of organizing vendors at a variety of events large and small, nearby and out of state, Ify postulated a hypothesis that has become her passion: there must be a means to ease the stressful, frenetic facets of planning, organizing and orchestrating events, for planners and vendors alike. While fully aware of the stressful nature of events from her perspective as a coordinator, in talks with vendors, some common themes emerged between planners and vendors—and hence, vendorspace was born: a platform as simple and fun to use as Tinder, where harmonious, likeminded event-planners and vendors find one another quickly and easily. When she’s not working on vendorspace, you can find her at home working on her other “startup” – her 8-month-old son.

As Servcorp’s Chief Operating Officer, Marcus Moufarrige is responsible for Servcorp’s business across 21 countries, overseeing product strategy, customer service and all things operational. Marcus says his aim is first and foremost to provide “great experiences when and wherever customers or their clients interact with Servcorp.” Having joined Servcorp in 1992, Marcus served as General Manager of Asia Pacific before becoming Chief Information Officer – a role in which he developed the advanced IT infrastructure that now underpins Servcorp’s business. In January 2012, Marcus became Chief Operating Officer, a move which he says reflects the vital role that technology currently plays in Servcorp’s operations. “The technological aspects of our business, especially cloud computing services, are today at the core of Servcorp’s operations – both in terms of service delivery and our continuing expansion,” Marcus says. Asked about what inspires him, Marcus says he has great admiration for his father, Alf Moufarrige, who started Servcorp in 1978 after being unable to find any high quality office space in a prime location. “My father leased a quarter of a floor then leased the unused space to other companies. He used chalk to draw furniture and equipment that he would purchase as money came in. He has unrelenting energy and an incredible drive to succeed. The business grew from nothing,” Marcus says.
