What I'm looking for

I’m re-entering corporate and tech to drive high-impact results. I thrive in fast-paced teams where my high emotional intelligence builds deep client trust and boosts retention. I am self-driven, highly motivated, and completely outcome-oriented. I want a role where managing complex relationships hits targets, drives revenue, and translates into strong financial rewards.

I am a strategic business developer and wellness specialist with over a decade of international entrepreneurial experience. I hold a BCom Honours and a Diploma in Counselling through SACAP, where I won the Dean’s Award for Highest Academic Achievement. I blend strong business literacy with deep emotional intelligence.

I have a proven track record of building and scaling brands internationally. I founded a wellness company in Asia operating across five countries and scaled the Airo Yoga brand globally. This experience shaped my ability to drive business growth, manage complex cross-border logistics, and lead large training programmes.

As a registered Holistic Counselor, I excel at high-stakes communication, active listening, and managing premium client relationships. I speak English, Afrikaans, and German fluently. I am looking for a remote Business Development, Client Success, or Operations role where I can help your company scale while keeping your international clients deeply supported.
