Growing up I believed that success comes from hard work. Full stop.
Thirty years of hard work in financial and general management led to the roles of FD, GM, MD and CEO of multimillion rand businesses, a sought-after business turnaround specialist, lifelong learner, family man and father. It worked.
Hard work also left me time poor and stress rich, with very few people, if any, to consult on big decisions, or to get support with the constant day-to-day challenges of running a business. It’s not always easy for business owners and leaders to admit they need help, but having the guidance and support of other business owners, industry leaders and experienced professionals can make all the difference. It did for me.
The Alternative Board® offers a personal, streamlined programme to help business owners:
- Identify and achieve short-term objectives
- Surface and address issues that are holding you back
- Uncover new opportunities and learn from others’ mistakes
- Get objective feedback from peers in non-competitive industries
- Connect and learn from a global community of business owners
74% of businesses say they have become more profitable since joining TAB.
76% say they are earning more sales revenue.
90% say they have improved their ability to address personnel or organisational issues.
As the TAB facilitator in the Western Cape, I have wealth of experience at the right level. I have a good track record of growing and turning businesses around, growing profit margins and reducing debt, developing strong teams and managing diversity. In my various senior positions I learned to think and operate like an entrepreneur, focused on innovation, growth and transformation.

- I have a finely tuned strategic eye,
- I know how to ask insightful questions,
- I’m not afraid to tell the truth,
- I’m well networked, which means I have access to the right contacts and

If you have the appetite to grow and challenge yourself in your business, yet are feeling isolated and unsure, consider what it would mean to you to fix that. Get in touch for an obligation free conversation to talk about business. Yours.
