Dragon Trails Africa Welcomes New Director of Operations: Chad McCordic to Lead East Africa Ventures
Chad, a Canadian national, brings over 15 years of leadership experience across Africa, Asia, and North America, with a deep focus on rural development, sustainable tourism, and impact-driven initiatives. He has lived and worked in Sierra Leone, Ghana, Kenya, and South Korea, building a career defined by resilience, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to deliver results in complex environments.
Most recently, Chad served as Country Director for OneVillage Partners in Sierra Leone (2020-2024), where he managed a team of more than 50 staffs and oversaw community-led development programs that improved the quality of life for over 50,000 people in rural communities. Under his leadership, the organization grew from a grassroots initiative to a mid-sized international NGO with multi-year funding commitments and expanded impact.
With a proven track record of managing complex projects in rural contexts, he combines deep practical expertise with a passion for sustainable development. Chad is also an enthusiastic motorbike rider, a devoted coffee lover, and a strong believer in community-driven enterprise values, that resonate deeply with Dragon Trails' mission.
"I am thrilled to join Dragon Trails Africa at such a dynamic stage of its growth," says Chad McCordic. "With Dragon Trails' expertise in adventure tourism and impact investing, and my own background in community-led development, I see enormous potential to position Kenya as a leading destination for both sustainable tourism and innovative social enterprise."
Chad's immediate focus will be the launch of Zebra Coffee in Sekenani, oversee our investment in Mara Balanite - a boutique hotel near the Maasai Mara, and the rollout of Zebra Trails African Motorcycle Adventures, expanding Dragon Trails' footprint in African motorbike tourism. He will also oversee impact initiatives including a biofertilizer project, a sandal-making enterprise Atelier Akala, and investments via the Nairobi Business Angel Network.
"We are delighted to welcome Chad to the Dragon Trails leadership team. His experience, creativity, and passion for Africa are exactly what we need to scale our ventures in Kenya," said Remco van Stappershoef, Dragon Trails' Co-Founder and Strategic Partnerships. "Chad will play a vital role in connecting our tourism, hospitality, and impact investment activities into one powerful ecosystem."
With Chad at the helm, Dragon Trails Africa is set to deepen its commitment to sustainable tourism, local enterprise, and community empowerment across Kenya.
