As the Founder and CEO of Sure Gig, Filisha Duke has experience in securing contracts and building key partnerships to facilitate the company’s objectives. During the fellowship, Filisha aims to learn effective approaches to manage and maintain financial growth, strategies on increasing market share, brand awareness and sales, and how to facilitate scaling and expansion. Upon returning to Guyana, Filisha plans to leverage the knowledge acquired from the YLAI Program to function more effectively as a leader and to scale the company’s client base within a six (6) month period. As she continues to be committed to the “Job Readiness and Self-Development” project that she initiated in July 2017, she intends to seek support from government organizations and NGOs to extend the reach of the project to outlying regions of Guyana.
