Liz Grossman and Tayib Fall met at the Google Gdays Conference in Dakar, Senegal on December 15, 2013, instantly bonding over the use of the internet to improve educational and professional outcomes for young professionals in Africa. Two years later, on December 15 to be exact, they met again at a digital education forum in Dakar and realized that their combined expertise has the potential to make immense impact in bridging the gap between the US and Africa. Within a few months’ time, Baobab Consulting was born.
