I am a South African woman with passion for entrepreneurship and humanitarian work. I believe that my one word is “Entrepreneurship”. This led me to launch Women Business Achievers a couple of years ago, whose mission is to move women entrepreneurs from the periphery into the mainstream of the economy through various interventions. As a result, we see businesswomen growing their businesses and thriving, in spite of the current pandemic. We host regular webinars and invite experts in various fields to address various aspects of running a successful business, in spite of challenges.
About my professional background, I have studied a Master’s program in Entrepreneurship. I have extensive experience in enterprise development, a career that I started over 15years ago, while working for the Ministry of Trade of Industry, South Africa. Over the years, I have done projects in various sectors including mining, engineering and business training and development and ICT.
Whilst CEO of TWIB (Technology for Women in Business), I initiated partnerships between SA women in business with Danish medium-sized businesses, in order to grow local businesses. I did fund raising where necessary for the projects, for 3 years in a row before relocating to USA.
Interestingly, I think outside of the box. In fact, I believe there is no box. More on this is in my book “Climbing the ladder of success”. Being a pioneer, proactive and results-oriented, I am willing to operate in unfamiliar areas.
