People, Passion and Pineapples
Born in Muscat, Oman to nomadic parents, my journey of constant exploration commenced at birth and hasn't stopped since. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of working for renowned organizations in South Africa and Botswana. Alongside this, I have collaborated with global entities to tackle intricate business challenges, always putting people at the heart of my endeavors.
Additionally, I've had the pleasure of engaging in public speaking events and nurturing my passion for writing.
When I'm not immersed in my professional pursuits, you can find me indulging in two of my greatest loves: pineapples and my faithful companion, Tjoepie, a charming staffie fur boy.
As an aspiring writer, I take pride in crafting articles that are just above average, earning the appreciation of none other than my biggest fan—my dear mom. Moreover, I relish any opportunity to share my thoughts and experiences through speaking engagements, cherishing the chance to connect with an attentive audience.
