2016 FOUNDED
2016 FOUNDED
After a few years of working together in multiple capacities, for example joining the same multilevel marketing team to sell beauty products online, Naomi Cook and W.E. Da’Cruz decided to join forces and relaunch a former company of Naomi’s called Virtual Global Consultant to Virtual Global Consultant Group, also known as, The VGC Group.

2017 CLIENTS INCREASED
2017 CLIENTS INCREASED
After launching the company, Naomi and W.E. were still open to finding jobs elsewhere while the company grew. However, after multiple attempts to land jobs with larger companies failed, the founders decided if they weren’t going to get hired, they would hire themselves. Within a year of launching the company, Naomi and W.E. landed faith-based clients as well as other businesses and personal brands. Additionally, Da’Cruz’ unexpected move to Detroit forced the company to quickly develop a strong virtual infrastructure that would allow the company to grow.

2018 TEAM EXPANDED
2018 TEAM EXPANDED
As donations increased online for faith-based organizations, the company began focusing on small-to-medium sized businesses in emerging markets starting with Africa. This pivot in direction opened up more opportunities for VGC to support entrepreneurs by using eCommerce to increase consumer-based product sales. With the success of working with African-based entrepreneurs, VGC built partnerships with local and government entities in the Detroit area and in Ghana, West Africa. This allowed for the launching of the companies internship program with University of Michigan – Dearborn and the hiring of team members in Ghana and Kenya.
