About

I am a pan-African, charismatic, and agile business luminary with over two decades of transformative leadership experience. My entrepreneurial journey has been marked by relentless innovation and strategic expansion, propelling us to become a multinational leader with a robust presence in diverse sectors, including professional services and construction.

Educated at WITS and GIBS, I further specialised in Tax Dispute Resolution at the Tax Faculty, applying legal and practical experience to drive solutions that deliver meaningful and sustainable impacts. I have honed a strategic mindset that underpins my comprehensive expertise in business and entrepreneurship. My leadership has guided Latita through significant expansions and pivotal mergers, establishing the company as a competitive force not only in Africa but also in international markets like the United States and the United Arab Emirates.

My approach to leadership combines charisma with inclusivity, fostering a culture of agile decision-making and relentless collaborative innovation. I am deeply committed to extending Latita’s influence beyond commercial success, focusing on making substantial societal impacts across Africa and nurturing transcendent business relationships.

As a mentor and motivational speaker, particularly through my engagements with GIBS, I inspire many by sharing my insights and guiding professionals through challenging times. My leadership promotes high-performance teams and client-centric solutions at Latita, reflecting my deep-rooted desire to effect positive change.
