Akin to an Uber for tractors, Hello Tractor is an agritech startup that uses smart technologies to connect farmers to productivity-enhancing technologies across the emerging and frontier markets. As a Co-founder and Head of Strategy, Van focuses on building connections among the agribusiness community in smallholder-dominant markets. Having started in Nigeria in 2015, the company has since expanded into Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Senegal. By focusing on solving significant ecosystem challenges, Hello Tractor has expanded beyond tractor owners, delivering value to tractor dealers and manufacturers as well.
His latent passion for entrepreneurship first took shape during his undergraduate days where he helped secure $250,000 through private donors to design a multiyear leadership, civic responsibility, and college opportunity conference for inner-city youth. After college, Van launched his career as an analyst and consultant in Nielsen’s innovation practice in China, eventually managing his own regionally focused team. Upon returning to the United States, he attended the University of Chicago Booth School of Business to receive his MBA where he graduated in 2014 and received its Distinguished Young Alumni Award in 2018. Immediately prior to transitioning to Hello Tractor full-time, he worked at DuPont as a global marketing manager and later in strategy and M&A.
