What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead sales, business development, and drive business growth in a results-oriented, collaborative environment.

I am an entrepreneurial business development leader and founder with extensive experience securing funding, building strategic partnerships, and driving commercial growth across consulting and financial services.

I have founded and led consulting and advisory firms that develop business plans, conduct financial analysis, and negotiate critical contracts for startups and established companies.

In financial services, I supported FX operations, reconciliations, and sales growth—consistently meeting quarterly targets while onboarding and retaining clients across South Africa and the UK.

I prioritize relationship-driven results, compliance with funder requirements, and practical strategic improvements to close funding deals and scale businesses.
