Augustine Guma is not only a professional mathematician, accountant, and mechanical and software engineer by trade, but an entrepreneur with a burning passion for community-building at heart. He came to the United States from Uganda and secured a job as a dishwasher at a restaurant in New York City. Having learned business ethics and determination from his father, he went to school for accounting and began providing tax and technology services on the side. Later promoted to sous-chef, Guma developed the idea of Guma Pies, a cross-section of food and culture from around the world that could bring people together through food and entrepreneurship. Today, Gumax International provides accounting and technology services, as well as the platform to create inner city jobs for aspiring entrepreneurs.
