I am a visionary, entrepreneurial-minded executive, a noted rainmaker, aggressive deal-maker and motivational and inspiring leader, with a proven record of outstanding academic achievement. I bring a rare level of business acumen and record of achievements, developed over a rich career in the banking and insurance sectors of the financial services arena, spanning in excess of a decade. I am especially growth and results- focused with an expert knowledge and track record of strategy formulation and implementation, resulting in the transformation of declining business units and capitalising on market opportunities.

I am an accomplished and integrity-driven professional offering over two decades of business success on national and international levels, with strong concentration and enormous success in company turnaround and customer service management. I provide extensive experience in Southern and the Rest of Africa and is recognised as a savvy leader with strengths in re-engineering business processes, defining continuous improvement processes, presiding over lively brainstorming sessions, building consensus, recognising and accelerating peers’ strengths, delegating the appropriate tasks to the right people and building powerful teams that are known to be decisive and conquer most (if not all) obstacles ... especially in the “emerging markets” arena!

I am an intelligent business executive, with highly diverse business knowledge and a propensity to initiate positive changes and have been praised for prudently managing human and financial resources and continually extinguishing “fires”. 

I am never afraid to delve into “uncharted” waters and capitalise on my strong business acumen and natural leadership talent to steer teams and companies in new directions.
