What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can build and scale digital financial products, drive operational transformation, mentor teams, and deliver measurable growth in a collaborative, impact-focused environment.

I am an operations and strategy specialist with over seven years of experience delivering digital platforms and operational improvements across financial services and consulting.

At Altvest Capital I led development of a digital financial services platform, a digital SME lending product that disbursed over ZAR 330 million in 18 months, and media campaigns that raised significant capital for listings and retirement products.

In consulting roles at Boston Consulting Group I designed growth strategies, process redesigns, and operational optimisations across healthcare, insurance, mining and public health emergency response projects, contributing to investment attraction and cross-border digital financial initiatives.

I bring strong leadership, project management, generative AI-driven operational efficiency, and stakeholder engagement skills, with a track record of scaling products, raising institutional funding, and mentoring junior talent.
