019: Leaving a Corporate Career to Become an Investor and Tech Entrepreneur

Soul Career with Lisandra Rickards

My guest for this episode of the Soul Career podcast is my friend and fellow entrepreneur Sheldon Powe.

Sheldon is the Founder and CEO of Innovate10X, a leading digital transformation firm based in Jamaica. He also invests in a number of entrepreneurs. In fact, Sheldon is one of the three men who made a seed investment in Soul Career®.

I met Sheldon in 2018 when he was leaving his 21-year career at the JMMB Group - one of Jamaica’s largest investment firms, founded by his family, to start Innovate 10x. His decision to leave his corporate job was risky, but it helped him to fulfil his long-held desire for entrepreneurship.

In this episode, he shares his career journey and gives his advice for anyone thinking of making the leap from the corporate world to become an entrepreneur.

Here’s a snapshot of what we cover:

1. The reason Sheldon decided to leave his corporate job at JMMB to form his own company.

2. Sheldon's upbringing and how this helped to encourage his entrepreneurial spirit

3. Why he decided to invest in Soul Career® And how he decides to invest in any entrepreneur?

4. His definition of a Soul Career®

5. His advice for anyone who is interested in identifying potential investors for their business
