I had less than $500 to my name when I emigrated from Sri Lanka to Australia over 25 years ago. Through sheer determination, perseverance and tenacity I worked my way through various organisations and roles to achieve my goal of creating my own business venture.

In 2006 I co-founded a company in Australia and over 10 years took it from zero to a multimillion-dollar and multinational organisation with over 100 employees which was then sold to a public listed company for an 8-figure number. 

Since, I have Co-Founded of BISTEC Global Services, Founded Biz Enable and Make a Day Brighter.

I now dedicate my time and energy leading the new companies and mentoring other businesses to achieve results such as removing pain points, creating awesome culture, maximising profit margins, creating and maintaining a wow customer experience.

As a natural problem solver, I am perfectly placed to enhance your business and deliver guaranteed results through proven principles and the blueprint used to successfully grow and sell my business. 

My Daily Mantras:
- Live every moment like it is your last 
- Minimum of 30mins learning of new things 
- Record or document my ideas and thoughts 
- Reflect or Meditate


My Motto: "Vero Possums" Latin word for "Yes we can" to me this means that everything is possible if you put your mind to it.

My loving family: My beautiful wife and 4 kids keep me inspired and motivated to do everything I do and do it best.

I love meeting new people here and learning about your story, your business and your Interests. I would love to help you resolve any problems or challenges with your resourcing, technology or your business. Please connect with me to request a free consultancy session or book a time here.

Faith-Driven Entreprenuer | Developing Human Capital | Raising Talents for Future of Work | Innovating Apprenticeship Education | Labour Market Researcher | Raising Social Entreprenuers | Social Selling |#TheAfricaWeWant

It all began with a simple truth: people are not just resources—they are capital.

I’m Dr. Faith Nwaobia Azubuike, a faith-driven entrepreneur, human capital strategist, and career growth consultant—widely known as The Employment Doctor. I build solutions that empower African professionals to secure decent remote jobs while helping organizations design and manage effective, performance-driven remote teams.

My journey was shaped by firsthand experience with post-university joblessness. Securing my first role in banking after years of uncertainty became a defining moment—it exposed the deep disconnect between education and employability. That experience ignited a lifelong commitment to fixing broken talent pipelines and building systems that convert learning into real work.

Today, my work sits at the intersection of human capital development, EdTech, digital apprenticeships, and the Future of Work, inspired by global best practices such as Germany’s Dual Education System and Switzerland’s apprenticeship model.

In 2020, I founded Youthup Global, now active across 20+ countries, to tackle youth unemployment through skills development, mentorship, and access to opportunities. To deepen impact, I launched Utidia, a digital apprenticeship and workforce development platform delivering bootcamps, hackathons, and real-world projects. Portfodia (launching soon) will enable African talents to showcase verified work portfolios to global employers.

These initiatives form the foundation of #Youthconomics—my theory and practice that strategic investment in youth human capital is Africa’s strongest catalyst for sustainable economic transformation.

As The Employment Doctor, I diagnose employability and career-positioning gaps, align skills with labour-market demand, and design clear pathways for growth, transition, and acceleration. I help professionals move from stagnation to structured career progression, remote-work readiness; including, CV Writing & LinkedIn Optimization, Interview Coaching for global relevance—and I support organizations in building remote teams that are productive and sustainable.

Beyond my work in employment systems, I also support professionals and entrepreneurs with personal brand growth and opportunity creation, applying practical social-networking frameworks to unlock visibility, trust, and value in the digital economy.

Beyond entrepreneurship, I am a researcher, author, and minister of the gospel, committed to shaping people, systems, and futures with purpose, excellence, and faith.

Let’s connect—for together is better!
