The Team Behind
the Mission

PowerMind is built on engineering expertise, professional integrity, and a genuine belief that West Africa deserves world-class energy infrastructure. Meet the people making it happen.

Why PowerMind Exists

Born from the Field.
Built for the Future.

To accelerate the adoption of sustainable energy and smart infrastructure across West Africa, delivering innovative, efficient, and technology-driven solutions that champion energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and socio-economic growth.

Founded by Engr. Ezekiel M. Sampson, PowerMind was born from years working within Liberia’s national power sector and witnessing first-hand the gap between the energy infrastructure the country has and the one it deserves.

By emphasising best practices, innovation, and sustainability, we remain committed to addressing regional challenges and empowering industries with forward-thinking, results-oriented technologies.

Engr. Ezekiel M. Sampson is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PowerMind Innovative Solutions. With over eight years of experience in national power infrastructure, he has dedicated his career to advancing Liberia’s energy sector from within — building the expertise, relationships, and vision that gave rise to PowerMind.

In addition to founding PowerMind, Ezekiel serves as an Engineer and Supervisor for Transmission & Distribution at the Liberia Electricity Corporation, where he played a direct role in connecting over 91,000 new customers to the national grid. That work gave him an intimate understanding of both the challenges and the immense potential within Liberia’s energy landscape.

He is also the President of SEEITE — the Society of Electrical, Electronics, Information Technology, and Telecommunications Engineers — bringing professional leadership to the broader engineering community in Liberia.
