I am driven by insatiable curiosity and a passion for exploring human, societal, and technological potential. My journey has spanned corporate boardrooms, rural classrooms, bustling inner cities, and serene mountaintops. With over 30 years of experience across industries such as telecommunications and education in both the global north and south, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the human condition and developed a knack for seeing potential where others see obstacles. This diverse background allows me to transform dystopian views of our technological future into vibrant and sustainable visions that prioritise human agency and connection.As the founder of Flying Cows of Jozi, I empower organisations to maximise social returns on digital education investments, guiding school leaders and educators to support young people in acquiring essential 21st-century and digital skills. My consultancy goes beyond traditional approaches, embedding human potential, digital ethics, and sustainability into organisational strategies to ensure that technology serves as a catalyst for positive, human-centric change.With a rich leadership background, including roles as a non-executive director of the Institute of Information Technology Professionals South Africa (IITPSA) and chair of its Social & Ethics Committee, I am a trusted guide and agent of cohesion. I frequently write columns and am invited as a speaker to share insights on the intersection of humanity and technology, digital sustainability, and ethical innovation. I work with organisations to explore the boundless possibilities at this crossroads, advocating for a future where technology enhances our natural resourcefulness and curiosity, leading to a more harmonious and sustainable world.Key areas of expertise:Strategic innovationDigital education strategyDigital ethics and sustainabilityNetwork building & cross-sector collaborationHuman-centric coaching & change managementPublic speaking and thought leadership
