Interview with Edward Mbeche, CEO and Founder of Global Sedan

Hello Edward. Tell me about yourself? How was born the idea of Global Sedan? And what’s Global Sedan?

I grew up in a small village in rural area of Tanzania, I moved to America about 20 years, Went to college and got married, I had few jobs here and there, and I end up working for large taxi company in Virginia called “Washington Flyer”

Working for Washington Flyer I realized, It’s no longer simply about where you’re being driven—now it’s about how you get there.

Customers expect more from their rides. They don’t want to simply get from A to B; they want to enjoy getting from A to B. There is a shift going on in our economy: a shift toward accessible independent contractors offering a level of convenience in our everyday services.

 

Who’s your biggest competitors?

Right now is Uber and Lyft.

Global Sedan! What is different?

Transportation-on-demand is not a new concept. Taxi services have existed for hundreds of years. For too long, the customer experience was ignored. What separates Global Sedan is its emphasis on higher standards and safety protocols—without sacrificing any of the accessibility the 21stcentury consumer is used to.

With more training for drivers, better insurance coverage, and an emphasis on the customer experience, we offer more than just a ride. We offer a journey.

Unlike some of our competitors, we care about service quality and passenger safety—not just profit.

It is not uncommon to see car services hiring drivers with no suitable insurance to cover passengers. These companies do not assume liability, making them impossible to hold them accountable.

Services such as Uber and Lyft have drawn widespread criticism for their lack of insurance coverage, a business model that is costing them millions of dollars in lawsuits owing to faulty or inadequate safety policies.

What’s Global Sedan Vision?

When I started Global Sedan, my vision was to provide a better option for drivers and passengers. Unlike most app-empowered car services, Global Sedan will provide you with a minimum of $1 million insurance in case of an accident. Since we are legally responsible for clients’ personal safety, we are compelled to prevent mishaps—more than the competition is. We care about our passengers more than the rest, but we utilize the same technology for a service that is far better and more secure. We are in the process of hiring experienced, professional drivers and conducting background checks.

 How do you find people to bring into your organization that truly care about the organization the way you do?

It’s very interesting finding hard working employees who cares about the company vision and the service we provide, Sometimes you hit the jackpot with a great employee that love what they do, and sometimes you end up with someone who’s just there to collect a pay check.

When conducting an interview with a potential employee, most of the time you get what you see or sometimes someone they manage to hide it and do the representative of a person that you want for the company; so they lie, and that cost the company money and time, until you realize it’s a wrong person you brought in the company.

Currently we have a lot of opening and looking to hire qualified individual. From drivers, staff to management.

Your sport is?

My Favorite is Football (Soccer) I grew up playing soccer, but I enjoy watching basketball too, I’m still learning more about American Football and all the rules, at least I know what’s touchdown …lol

How often do you eat out?

I enjoy eating out, and trying new things, my favorite food is Brazilian, Italian and Thai Food, of course some few African dishes.
