My current reflection is, “It’s time to give back.” I’m a natural digital learning leader and innovator, relentlessly challenging traditional learning thinking and ways of work. I love engaging with L&D professionals of all levels and sharing my knowledge, insights, and experience through advisory consulting, mentoring, and facilitation. Twelve years ago, I co-founded a global consulting and coaching business, Blue Pebble Consulting; I am the Executive Partner for Learning Innovation. I bring my experiences and lessons learnt when I was the Head of Learning for one of the largest financial institutions in Africa (Standard Bank). I am a well-respected learning executive and thought leader with over 25 years of experience in many learning roles across corporates and vendors in South Africa and Africa. I specialise in eLearning, digital learning, learning experience platforms, learner Management systems, blended learning solutions, and talent management.
