Mpontšeng Lydia Pama-Letsoela holds a Master of Business Administration and Applied Finance from the University of Newcastle, Australia in 2012. She has been a Human Resources practitioner for almost two decades, with a keen interest in remuneration and benefits. She also offers business consultancy services to small-medium enterprises as well as large companies. She is very interested in wealth and job creation, healthy lifestyle and poverty alleviation hence she established VEL AgriHub Limited. This company started its operations legally in 2018, after operating as a small enterprise for almost ten years. It was launched by establishment of an orchard in the same year, for production of peaches, grapes and apples. She is currently leading this company as the Managing Director.

She has attended international business expos in India and Botswana; and attempted to attend the FOODEX 2020. She continues to explore various avenues with which she intends to expand the dried fruits market base. Her strong belief is that by this expansion unemployment and poverty will be addressed. At the same time, healthy living will be promoted wherever VEL AgriHubs’s products are consumed.
