Standard Bank Head Value Propositions & Client Experience; Business & Commercial Banking SA

Despite experience in teaching, communications, consulting, process engineering, and digital solutioning, I’m constantly surprised that my career of choice turned out to be Business Banking. Working with SMEs I get to live my passion for driving positive change in Africa. This also allows me to live my passion for broadening inclusion in the South African economy by empowering women entrepreneurs to lead and win. 

In my personal capacity I love spending time with my husband, two boys, four dogs and 75 fish whilst drinking my fair share of good coffee, enjoying the occasional book, and attempting to run and cycle.
