Erroll Pullen is a serial founder with more than four decades of experience building and scaling industrial, chemical, and agricultural‑input businesses across Africa, the UK, Europe, and the United States. His entrepreneurial career is defined by disciplined capital efficiency and repeatable value creation, including the flagship growth of Oro Agri from an initial $200,000 investment to a $100 million exit in 2020.
Over his career, Erroll has led multiple strategic exits to public and global industrial groups, including Goldfields (LSE), Fenner Plc (LSE), Ingersoll Rand (NYSE), Nalco (NYSE), Oro Agri (CSE), and Omnia (JSE).
