- If Forbes' 'The 10 Most Powerful Men In Africa 2014' is anything to judge by, Chinedu Echeruo is a name you shouldn't be sleeping on.
This Nigerian is a tech entrepreneur and founder of Hopstop.com and Tripology.com.
Chinedu is reported to have sold HopStop.com to Apple for an amount in the 'billion dollar' range. How cool is that?
HopStop itself is described by Forbes as 'a mobile and online application that provides mass transit directions door-to-door mass transit, taxi, walking, biking and hourly car rental directions in major metropolitan markets throughout the U.S., Canada, U.K, France, Australia, New Zealand and Russia.'
In the year 2001, HopStop was one of the 100 fastest growing companies in the USA (rating provided by Inc. magazine.)
Tripology on the other hand is "an interactive travel referral service focused on connecting travelers with travel specialists which was later acquired by USA Today Travel Media Group."
Mr. Echeruo obtained his M.B.A from Harvard Business School and got a B.S from Syracuse University.
