Meet the founders

Three friends who got tired of watching good talent go unseen.

Venus Aransiola

Venus Aransiola

Founder

I come from finance and audit, and I kept seeing the same thing: business owners buried in admin and messy books while the real work waited. I started Lantern so owners could hand that load to one reliable person, with someone like me checking the numbers behind them.

Serena Oluyori

Serena Oluyori

Recruitment Specialist

There is so much skilled, hardworking talent across Africa that never gets a fair chance at global clients. I started Lantern to change that. I find and screen every assistant, and I only put forward people I would trust myself.

Skills Specialist, Canada

I believe a good assistant should be trained properly before they ever meet a client. I joined Lantern to make sure every assistant is tested and ready from day one, so our clients get help they can rely on.
