What most people take for granted is still a privilege for many others. While people in developed regions can instantly switch on their lights, charge their devices, and use energy at their disposal, millions in other parts of the world still struggle for this fundamental necessity.

Growing up with a similar situation where reliable electricity was a luxury, Mr. Maloyi Eudes Damien founded Tailor Energy. As the CEO & Founder of Tailor Energy, he aims to bridge the gap to provide intelligent electrification of rural areas through hybrid solar stations and low energy charging infrastructure. He believes that access to dependable energy opens doors to education, economic development and at Tailor Energy, every project they undertake is a step closer to making power accessible and reliable.

The Genesis of Tailor Energy

Mr. Maloyi saw an immense untapped energy potential in Canada, Europe, and Africa as each region needed a specific outlook and approach when it came to energy solutions. With the mission to design innovative, country-specific energy infrastructures, Tailor Energy was born.

Reflecting on his founding days, he says, “My journey across Africa and North America taught me to blend local insight with international standards, cultivating an approach grounded in innovation, rigor, and impact.” From the start, Tailor Energy prioritized listening to community needs, partnering with local experts, and adapting proven technologies to fit diverse environments.

A Mission That Crosses Borders

From Africa to North America, Mr Maloyi has experienced the difference firsthand. Started as a research-led initiative in Canada, Tailor Energy is now present across the globe. Specifically in Africa and Asia, Tailor Energy Green steps in to provide its electric vehicle charging infrastructure to parts of the two continents, adapting each deployment to local needs and resources.

For Mr. Maloyi, this project represents more than a business milestone. It speaks to the larger role energy can play in shaping independence and resilience for communities that have long been overlooked. Carrying this vision as both a Canadian entrepreneur and an African leader, he sees each installation as a step toward energy sovereignty.

Leadership Grounded in Clarity

“Solidarity, empathy, and resilience. These are the foundations of the participative and compassionate leadership I practice at Tailor Energy,” says Mr. Maloyi.

Raised in a challenging setting, he learned early on that leadership is not about control. It is about direction, intention, and building something together. At Tailor Energy, this belief shapes the way teams operate as every voice counts, regardless of role or title.

For Mr. Maloyi, success is not defined by personal milestones. It lies in the day-to-day impact of the company’s work. When Tailor Energy’s vision starts to reflect in the lives of people on the ground, that is when success feels real. Over the years, Mr. Maloyi has shaped his leadership around these principles, building not just a business but a team that moves with purpose.

Cultivating a Culture of Respect and Growth

Quality work and performance have always been the major factors of growth at Tailor Energy. However, Mr Maloyi makes sure that everyone at Tailor Energy also focuses on their well-being. He says, “I firmly believe that a leader must remain mentally strong. I carve out moments of reflection to consider Tailor Energy’s major directions. Internally, we foster a healthy work environment with motivated teams who are empowered and aligned with our vision.”

At Tailor Energy, resilience, integrity, and excellence are the most important values that Mr Maloyi has implemented in his personal life as well. He believes in ethical decision-making, where decisions are made transparently and with a long-term view for future generations.

Enabling Inclusive Economic Development

Sustainable energy has been rising at a rapid rate. However, this growth varies from region to region. Mr Maloyi saw this as a challenge and an opportunity as well. He envisioned the Pan-African-North American movement in the energy sector. His idea was not just to build Tailor Energy as a business, but a cause that influences and drives economic development across various regions.

Adding to this, he mentions, “My personal aspirations are deeply rooted in promoting inclusive economic development. That is why, at Tailor Energy, every goal is defined to deliver real impact: job creation, technology transfer, and energy access. We measure success not only in financial terms but in lives transformed.”

Personal Foundations Beyond the Professional Sphere 

Outside of his work, Mr. Maloyi cultivates routines to stay grounded and develop his leadership abilities. Spending time in prayer, reflection, and focused reading forms part of his regimen. These activities keep his mind clear and offer perspective necessary for leading such an ambitious company on a global scale.

“Clarity, calm, foresight- these are all demanded by the leadership of such an ambitious company. These personal practices are never separate from my work. They enable me to be an effective leader,” he states. This intentional approach to his personal development is the same intentional approach he employs with Tailor Energy operations.

Writing and poetry are more than a pastime for Mr. Maloyi. These creative outlets have helped him develop the capacity to communicate with depth and emotion, invaluable during times of crisis.

The Goal That Motivates Progress 

Mr. Maloyi’s dedication stems from his firm conviction that energy can empower developing countries. Every obstacle Tailor Energy overcomes represents a step closer to a more independent, sustainable, and interconnected world. Beyond individual achievement, this mission offers the continuous inspiration required for long-lasting transformation. Adding to this, he mentions, “This mission strengthens my resolve and transcends me.”

According to Mr. Maloyi, the goal of the work is to bring about long-lasting change that will benefit communities long after individual projects are completed. This perspective keeps him focused when things get hard and makes sure that short-term setbacks don’t interfere with long-term objectives.

In Mr. Maloyi’s perspective, success is measured by Tailor Energy’s ability to improve people’s everyday lives.

Creating Energy Landscape of the Future

As Tailor Energy is moving into different environments and advancing the model, Mr. Maloyi remains anchored to the original mission that initiated Tailor Energy. His intention is not only to build a successful energy business, but to show a viable model that proves that empathetic, development-centered work can further, effect lasting positive change across the continents.

The increase in successful energy access projects Tailor Energy has completed, confirms that energy access can transform communities with respect, partnership, and goodwill to empower communities. Each new installation, whether it is in rural Africa or underserved area of North America; reflects another component in Mr. Maloyi’s mission of energy accessibility.

Moving forward, Tailor Energy will continue to address the energy wealth gap, appreciating energy abundance, and eradicating energy scarcity across the globe.
