ICTP 303: Delivering Caribbean-made products to the World, with Kadion Preston of Caribshopper
Being part of the global marketplace has many benefits. Though we, in the Caribbean region, are innovative and culturally rich, doing business successfully with international customers is still challenging – especially for micro, small and medium enterprises.
Kadion Preston, the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Caribshopper, an e-commerce platform that allows Caribbean merchants to sell their products to consumers globally, shares the Caribshopper story. In this episode, Kadion discusses, among other things:
* how Caribshopper has been able to navigate the challenges many Caribbean MSMEs face regarding electronic payments;
* how Caribshopper has been able to manage cross-border logistics and fulfilment;
* the requirements that would need to be satisfied for other Caribbean countries to be added to Caribshopper;
* and where Kadion would like to see Caribshopper in the next 3 to 5 years.

Customer Reviews
Great information rayed from Caribbean Fintech movers
ICT Pulse has been around for awhile with the website of highly topical events in the Fintech Caribbean space. It’s nice however to hear directly from those involved in the different spheres giving their personal experiences and sharing their wisdom on the many topical issues that Michele continues to highlight. Definitely worth listening in to and a must share.
Really informative and well done
The ICT Pulse Podcast has been on for a few years, and the quality is always good. The topics are on point, and provide an interesting perspective on the Caribbean region’s tech space.
