South Africa
I help businesses run smarter. As an independent management consultant, I embed with executive teams to fix what's broken, build what's missing and train people to sustain it, all without the overhead of a traditional consulting firm. Over the course of my career I've worked across PropTech, FinTech, green energy, marine insurance and marketing, tackling everything from department inefficiency audits and AI tool adoption to front-end system development and CEO-level operations support. My edge is the ability to operate at both ends of the spectrum: strategic enough to sit in the boardroom, hands-on enough to redesign a filing system, write the training manual and deliver the workshop. I bring analytical thinking, practical implementation and a track record of results across some of South Africa's most fast-moving industries with an eye firmly on doing the same globally.
