I have an MBA (Cum Laude) combined with 20 years of HR and business experience, which has really assisted in crafting professional and insightful content for clients across a range of industries.I am also in the process of launching a freelancing platform in South Africa. Although this has been a daunting and difficult exercise, it has given me unique insights into how individuals and organisations quantify value within this space - hopefully I'll be able to pass some of these learnings on to you! I have been running my own business since 2010 focusing on coaching, recruitment, exit interviews and other ad hoc HR projects. I have also written a number of articles and assisted with content development for various clients.
By way of a brief introduction:
• I have an MBA (Cum Laude) degree from leading Business School in South Africa
• I have over 18 years HR experience, approximately 12 of which have been in a corporate environment (mainly banking & financial services)
• I have managed the Talent Acquisition/Recruitment function at 3 organisations
• I am familiar with the talent/recruitment environment, having spent 12 years within corporate HR, and also wrote my MBA thesis on “Defining & Sourcing Talent in South African Financial Institutions” for which I received a distinction
• I have a strong history with regard to academic achievement – from full academic colours at school through to a Cum Laude MBA degree including Dean’s List recognition
