Claudius Modu Coyanda-Parkzes Jr. is the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Coyanda-Parkzes Company. Born at Congo Market in Freetown and raised at Congo Cross and Wilkinson Road, Mr. Coyanda-Parkzes has always carried with him a strong vision of excellence and determination.
He began his early education at the Tower Hill Municipal School before moving on to the prestigious Sierra Leone Grammar School. In June 1983, at the age of 16, he completed his G.C. Exams and relocated to the United States of America to further his studies. There, he lived in the Commonwealth of Virginia and studied at Northern Virginia Community College before enrolling at Strayer University.
Mr. Coyanda-Parkzes started his professional career with Benfield Electric Company, where he worked as an electrician apprentice for two years before becoming a master electrician. His commitment and hard work saw him rise to the position of General Manager. After nearly a decade of experience, he launched his own firm, Sierra Electric Company. Through this venture, he executed major contracts for organizations such as Taco Bell, Cross Builders, NV Homes, Pulte Homes, and the United States Government.
A workplace accident later led him to explore new opportunities. He joined Reston Limousine, where he quickly realized the potential of the transportation industry. This inspired him to establish Parkes Limousine Service, which grew into a highly successful business serving clients such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and several top law firms in the Washington, D.C. area. To this day, Parkes Limousine Service continues to operate as a major player in the industry.
With decades of international experience and success, Mr. Coyanda-Parkzes has now returned home to Sierra Leone with a vision to contribute to national development. Through Coyanda-Parkzes Company, he seeks to bring innovation, growth, and transformative impact to his beloved country, working alongside a carefully selected team of professionals.
Beyond his professional life, Mr. Coyanda-Parkzes is a proud father of three children. His daughter, Dr. Ruby Coyanda-Parkzes, is a medical doctor; Jessica Coyanda-Parkzes is pursuing her college education; and his son, Michael Coyanda-Parkzes, is currently in high school.
Mr. Coyanda-Parkzes embodies steadfastness, leadership, and a deep devotion to excellence and growth. His journey from Freetown to the United States and back home is an inspiration to many, and through Coyanda-Parkzes Company, he continues to lead with vision and a life filled with meaningful purpose.
