Lesego Mahlako

I’m a Project, Operations and Marketing professional with 8+ years of experience helping teams turn big ideas into real, working outcomes; the kind that actually launch, scale and turns customers into brand champions.

In a previous role I was nicknamed “The Fixer” (yes, partly due to an unhealthy love for Scandal) but mostly because I naturally step in when things get chaotic, connect the right people and bring calm, structure and momentum back to the work.

I graduated Cum Laude with my Honours degree from Vega, and I like to think my ambidexterity explains a lot about how I work; I can switch from creative thinking to analytical problem-solving very quickly, moving comfortably between strategy conversations, execution plans and team alignment. Whether it’s shaping a product launch, improving an operational process or coordinating cross-functional teams, I enjoy being the person who helps everyone move in the same direction.

I’ve spent much of my career working with distributed teams across product, marketing and business functions, leading initiatives from concept through delivery and focusing on measurable impact, not just activity.

I’m especially drawn to international, remote-first companies where collaboration, ownership, good communication and a bit of humour are valued alongside strong delivery.
