Meanwhile, Founder of The Platform, Felix Bowe, Jr., said that hosting The Platform was a vision that was birthed four years ago after wanting to bring together experienced professionals and the youth of Grand Bahama, having them both glean valuable information from each other.
“The Platform brings together Grand Bahamas leading top level executives and CEOs across the corporate divide as well as young professionals, entrepreneurs, and disruptors in the various fields of construction and trade, tourism, business, law, accounting, health, and a host of other areas that are untapped,” Bowe said.
