I am an experienced entrepreneur with a track record of founding, growing and successfully exiting businesses across multiple industries. I bootstrapped and founded a conferencing company in 2009 that has produced over 200 events across Africa and the UAE, with many going on to be industry benchmarks in the CX and E-commerce space. My next venture was cofounding TOD, an innovative home services platform in South Africa. I successfully product managed and deployed B2C and B2B2C products, secured partnerships and raised multiple rounds of funding with local and international investors. I went on to exit the business to one of South Africa's largest publicly listed companies, where I am now an executive within the larger group and the COO of a new home services brand. Most recently I identified and spearheaded the acquisition of South Africa’s largest competing home services company.My core competencies include:• Business development• Sales team management• Product design and thinking• Deal negotiating and structuring• Investor relations• Conflict resolution• Mergers & acquisitions• Team management• Raising capital
