With an illustrious career spanning over eight years, Patrick Mayor C. Raphael is a seasoned hospitality business consultant whose expertise covers marketing, human resource management, operations strategy, and branding. He is the Founder of GREiPR, a forward-thinking hospitality consultancy dedicated to bridging critical gaps in recruitment, training, and management within the industry.
Patrick is a results-driven entrepreneur who has successfully trained over 700 professionals, launched and optimized multiple hospitality ventures, and streamlined HR processes to drive business growth. His leadership is rooted in innovation, mentorship, and a deep commitment to sustainable business models.
GREiPR is a hospitality-focused solutions provider committed to streamlining operations and improving workforce efficiency. The company offers services including:
With its mission to create sustainable hospitality systems across Africa, GREiPR is currently developing three tech-driven products:
These tools are poised to transform how hospitality businesses in Africa recruit, operate, and scale.
Patrick was inspired to launch GREiPR after observing widespread inefficiencies in hospitality workforce management—from exploitative job agencies and job scams to a lack of structured training. In the early days, gaining trust in an industry steeped in traditional practices was a challenge. But through persistence, case studies, and successful partnerships, GREiPR has become a trusted name in hospitality consulting.
According to Patrick, “Lagos is a very interesting place to do business, both positively and negatively. It all depends on how you see the market.”
As a fast-paced business hub, Lagos offers an environment that demands adaptability and innovation. The city’s vibrant hospitality sector has enabled GREiPR to implement tailored solutions and build a diverse clientele base.
One major hurdle Patrick faced was convincing businesses to adopt structured HR practices. He addressed this by:
Another significant challenge was funding and technical support for product development. By forging the right partnerships and conducting extensive research, Patrick and his team are steadily overcoming these obstacles.
Patrick encourages collaboration, continuous learning, and open communication within his team, which has helped create a culture of excellence and empowerment.
“Stay adaptable, be persistent, and always prioritize value creation. Lagos is competitive—build strong relationships, understand your market, and maintain your integrity.”
Patrick’s journey highlights the importance of resilience, strategic networking, and staying customer-centric in an ever-evolving business landscape.
A career-defining moment for Patrick was securing GREiPR’s first major corporate partnership—an achievement that validated his vision and positioned the company for future growth. He leverages networking, mentorship, and collaboration as crucial tools for business expansion and innovation.
GREiPR plans to expand across Africa, offering end-to-end hospitality solutions that redefine HR and operations. The upcoming launch of DEEPLOi, STRAiVR, and GRUPPA marks a bold step toward transforming the African hospitality landscape.
Patrick is set to launch his highly anticipated book: “Food, People, and Culture”—a practical guide for navigating the food business in Nigeria. The book combines real-life insights, strategies, and lessons from years of hands-on experience in the hospitality space.
In addition, GREiPR will host an exclusive Hospitality Business Workshop for 200 restaurant and food business owners in Lagos. This intensive program will offer tools, strategies, and expert guidance to help participants:
Registration details will be announced via social media.
If there’s one thing Patrick would change about the Lagos business landscape, it’s improving access to funding and structured support for startups. He believes that empowering young entrepreneurs and innovative businesses is key to Nigeria’s future.
Lagos Leaders is a feature series by Lagos Jobs spotlighting innovative and impactful business leaders shaping the future of Lagos and beyond.
Stay inspired. Stay connected.
