The Man

A stoic, legacy builder, wordsmith, philosopher, and catalyst for positive impact.

01 — Who He Isthe man

Kemal Brown in a dark green suit and white shirt, seated in a chair in profile, hands clasped at his chin, gold watch on his wrist.

Many sides. One man.

“Within yourself is a universe of possibilities.”

By day, I chair the Digita Global Group. By night, I’m....Batman. When I’m not out saving Gotham, I’m a wordsmith, philosopher, a boxer, and a lover of a good book, anime, abstract art and dystopian films. I keep Drake on repeat, and enjoy a fun night out, or peaceful night in with good food, and great company.

Core philosophy

Kaizen: Relentlessly Pursuing Excellence

Only through improving can we realise our highest selves, unlock latent potential and become that which we are destined to be.

We determine our future, daily, both consciously and unconsciously.

Quiet work, every day.

02 — The Storyin the beginning

In the beginning there were marbles…

  1. 4About age four

    The first venture

    “I visited a small metal workshop with my dad. I saw some metal balls that resemble marbles. I figured, hey, I could sell these as the secret to my success.”

    He made US$100 and spent it on Pokémon cards. “Don’t judge me I was four.”

  2. 01University

    NovaTech

    “A retail service selling tech to university students… it eventually failed due to changes in government policy (an early lesson).”

  3. 02Setback

    Acquiloan

    “A microfinance business supporting the unbanked and the general public for varied life events. It too was short lived.”

  4. 03The turn

    Start again, more intelligently

    “Like someone obsessed with pain, I decided to start again more intelligently.”

  5. 04The classroom

    From lecturing to the stage

    “I realized I liked to motivate and inspire my students more than teaching them about politics, international relations and other governance related themes.”

  6. 2016May 2016

    Digita Global Marketing

    “Born from my passion for digital technologies, sales, creativity and serving others.”

  7. $300The leap

    US$300 to multi-million

    He founded the company with US$300, grew it into a multi-million US-dollar business.
