TOPIC: Lessons from the African continent in support of an integral approach to the development of a thriving and sustainable Africa
I am strategically minded and commercially astute business leader with an entrepreneurial spirit and vast experience leading strategy development and execution with the aim to achieve organisational excellence. I possess a passion for assisting young entrepreneurs to start new businesses, spearheading franchise divisions, providing strategic development guidance and shedding light on how to succeed on the African continent. As an expert in the African context, an Executive Fellow at Henley Business School and a Thought Leader in business, I offer advanced operations, financial and general business leadership skills, as well as expertise in identifying gaps, formulating solutions and developing systems in order to turn performance around. I excel in engaging and managing relationships with stakeholders, as well as developing and leading high-performing teams to ensure achievement of organisational goals. In addition, I provide strong mentorship and leadership development skills, and excel in planning and coordinating training initiatives, developing and implementing training material and facilitating change.
