Founder's Profile

D'Journe Arthur
Chief Executive Officer

ThaVibes Inc.
Young, Fit and Ambitious

Over a decade of experience in Information Technology & Software Development.

Super Powers:

Solution focused thinking, visual thinking, old-fashioned discipline, advanced critical thinking, attention to detail, pattern recognition, strategic planning & adaptive creativity.

Kryptonite Flaws:

1) Seeing things in detail, sometimes makes me bad at summarizing, requiring extra effort for me to refine my deep thoughts into concise statements.

2) When listening to others, I dissect all things in accurate detail which can be helpful when creating solutions but come off as aloof when others are seeking emotional validation.

D’Journe Arthur – Change Agent for Global Transformation

A software developer and entrepreneur, I have expertise in cinematography, digital marketing, social media marketing, retail and technology-consultancy, bolstered by a Bishops High School education and countless university certifications, my journey also includes accolades such as being a UNDP Tobago Innovation Challenge finalist (one of eight from 103 global entries), the only Tobagonian in the Ministry of Digital Transformation’s Developer’s Hub Challenge and a finalist, the only Tobagonian chosen for the UKTP partnership program and a participant of Fintech Islands 2024 for Caribbean startups as part of the UKTP cohort. 

My first start-up, ThaVibes was born after many years of doing cinematography in the real estate advertising space, retail business marketing & also helping local film makers in production, I sensed the struggles of independent creators globally after seeing it locally stifled by many challenges. ThaVibes was born from this realization, igniting a fire that illuminated a new path, a new way for creators to be seen, heard and paid.

My second start-up, the Civil Engagement Platform, is pushing the boundaries of technology implementation further by bridging the gap between governments and citizens. I am working with Government stakeholders and introducing new technology to society that improves the ability of citizens to engage with governments and receive real solutions to their problems. 

Everyday, I wake up, innovation is on my mind and my fervent passion for it shall never die.

Honorable Moments

United Nations Development Programme-Tobago Innovation Challenge Finalist:

I answered the call of the Tobago Innovation Challenge hosted by the United Nations Development Programme. 

 Among 103 submissions from across the globe, only 8 were chosen by the United Nations. I was one of the finalist.

Developer’s Hub Challenge by Ministry of Digital Transformation:

 The universe then called me to the Ministry of Digital Transformation’s Developer’s Hub Challenge. A convergence of minds to bridge the gap between developers and government stakeholders in Trinidad and Tobago. 

The sole Tobagonian chosen, I embraced this opportunity to create technological solutions that can help the nation.

United Kingdom Trade Partnership (UKTP) International Trade Center Journey:

 The United Kingdom Trade Partnership (UKTP) extended its hand, giving me opportunities to improve my start-up and network as a founder. As part of their cohort, they travelled with a group of top founders from around the Caribbean, mentored us, exposed us to high-level stakeholders and helped foster the development of Caribbean Startups.
