My background is varied as I take on roles which interest me, across sectors. The common thread throughout- doing things that add value to others, creating an impact, producing results. Previous roles include Business Development Executive at LRMG (PTY) Ltd; a consultancy which focuses on people performance. Head of Investor Relations at Columba Leadership; a youth leadership social impact business. Co-Founder and General Manager at HerdBoys Marketing (PTY) Ltd; an agricultural group buying business which utilised technology to enable emerging and commercial farmers to form virtual ‘flash mob type buying groups’ for farming inputs to facilitate equitable pricing. I’ve held various Fundraising (Business Development) roles in the development sector raising large scale funding for social impact organisations. Ran my own successful bespoke mosaic business which was ranked in the top 3 most sought-after studios in Johannesburg and started out working with the police (SAPS), accompanying them on calls to diffuse volatile situations and simultaneously facilitated group and individual counselling sessions as a trauma counsellor. I also lectured. I am an entrepreneurially minded bootstrapper, mavHERick and innovator with a high degree of curiosity which means that I ask a lot of questions and seldom accept the status quo. Passionate about adding value, an advocate of ethical leadership and alignment of actions to stated values and am naturally results and action orientated. Most recent achievements include having contributed significantly towards building the financial health of the business unit I worked in at LRMG by securing substantial revenue and building sustainable client relationships. I love to help others grow, coached colleagues who approached me, and thoroughly enjoyed facilitating group discussions for business executives at the case studies we ran.My skills include setting and implementing sales strategy, SMarketing and competitive positioning, consultative solution crafting, proposal crafting, thought leadership articles, social media strategy and content creation, negotiation, contract management, building sustainable partnerships, business leadership coaching, executive facilitation, corporate social investment, product design and development and collaborating with others who are lateral thinkers.
