Hello LinkedIn! I’m Tumelo Selikane. My entrepreneurial flame has fuelled a succession of business ventures that have one thing in common: solutions to make people’s lives better. I’m ambitious, with a desire to innovate; but am also logical and like to trust a good plan before I leap into a new venture.Alongside the joy of creating tech solutions is the sense of accomplishment I get from strategic marketing and business development. As the Managing Director at Nielsen Sports SA – one of the most reputable research and insights agencies in the world – I blend my passion for sports with creating meaningful connections between brands and their audiences. I’ve led a team, pioneering cross-platform media valuations, fan insights and digital media analysis. As an accomplished commercial and brand leader with extensive strategic marketing experience, I’ve contributed significantly to growing revenue and market share. In my personal capacity, I’m proud to have launched a mobile, e-commerce app named Steera. With just a few clicks, customers can access a number of digital platforms to instantly order, pay and deliver goods, saving them time, money and stress. I also stepped into the world of home décor when I co-founded a business called Inspired Doormats. I love the sheer simplicity of transforming a humble product into a work of art fit for purpose.Reflecting on my career, I realise how much each role has shaped me. Here are a couple of the stand-out milestone moments:• Becoming the MD of Nielsen Sports SA - an extension of a global research and data corporation.• Spearheading Steera to become a challenger in flexible, on-demand logistics in the township economy.• Expanding the creative landscape of home décor with Inspired Doormats.• Graduating top of my class in South Africa with an international diploma from ESA, for Sponsorship Management in Sports.• Influencing thought leadership in the sports industry by being asked to speak at various events and across different platforms.• Being a dedicated mentor to emerging entrepreneurs, sharing insights and lessons that have shaped my journey.Beyond the boardroom and business deals, I find joy and balance with my family and on the cycling trails. These moments of peace help me recharge and inspire me to bring more innovative solutions into the world.If you’re passionate about turning ideas into realities that positively impact daily life, let’s connect.
