I was born on the Cape Flats, educated by diverse teachers, and have served on boards of both developmental NGO’s (the arts, housing, financial), and businesses both listed and private. I enjoy complex processes, read widely, and love the mountains, beaches and wines of the Cape. Over the last decades I have been engaged with building networks of individuals from a range of businesses, government and civil society on our continent – hoping to facilitate practical and policy interventions in a range of spaces and writing and speaking for small, targeted audiences.
