About me: I am a Laidlaw Foundation scholar and a CFA Charterholder.
I began my career at the central bank of South Africa before transitioning into investment banking, where I worked for Africa’s fifth-largest investment bank by asset size. My most recent role was with a leading consumer lending company in Africa, focusing on advancing financial inclusion in the region.
Looking ahead, I plan to leverage my MBA and debt fundraising skills to pivot into management consulting. My long-term goal is to establish a private investment management fund to support women entrepreneurs in Africa in building sustainable and scalable businesses.
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, hiking, theatre and plays, and trying new restaurants.
Three topics I can be approached for: Africa; social impact; Black in Business.
