Regis is the cofounder & Director at Carl Group. He first brought about what was at first regarded as a "crazy idea", the idea of making pasta out of sweet potatoes - something later proven to be possible, and where CARL Group stemmed from. Regis identifies himself as having an entrepreneurial eye; and an ambitious, patient and optimistic person.
Having grown up in an area where sweet potatoes were grown extensively, Regis found himself eating sweet potatoes as his daily meal from morning to evening, without tasting any other alternative dish. That pushed him to wonder if there were any other ways sweet potatoes could be processed to create more variety in his dishes.
Inspired by that notion, Regis studied Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics and took Food Science courses at The University of Rwanda. In his research dissertation, he conducted a study about orange-fleshed sweet potatoes and fortunately found out its many advantages to combat malnutrition diseases and save lives.
Regis is currently 26 years old, and he officially launched CARL Group two years ago (2014). Until now, CARL Group has attended various national competitions where they have been awarded various prizes. CARL has also attended several international summits like the World Economic Forum, the Forum of Agricultural Research in Africa, the AU-EU conference entitled ”Invest in a food secure future” 2016 and others, that helped it's name expand, gain a reputation and many useful networks and customers.
Regis was selected among the 1000 top young entrepreneurs in Africa by the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Program. He is active at the Chamber of Young Entrepreneurs (PSF) and serves as its board member and the President in its agriculture sector.
Regis has contributed a lot in his community, being also a member of AgriProFocus in Rwanda. He attended many entrepreneurial and leadership trainings like the high class entrepreneurship program initiated by the Regent University.
