Ended soon

Performance-driven professional with over 12 years of combined experience in marketing and investment promotion functions.

I currently manage the green economy investment portfolio at Wesgro, whereby I support businesses and investors in the green economy to remove barriers to establishment and growth. My role entails providing local and international companies/investors with the following support: access to funding, linkages to government initiatives/incentives, red-tape reduction, strategic match-making, policy advocacy, market entry facilitation and more. I manage a pipeline of projects related to various Green Economy sectors namely renewable energy, water, circular economy, sustainable agriculture & buildings and green finance.

My strength lies in managing projects and the key stakeholders required to drive business growth. I enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life and my natural networking ability has helped in building a strong network of stakeholders in the South African green economy ecosystem.

Over time I would like to extend my scope to international markets to continue doing what I am passionate about – promoting and growing sustainable businesses.
