Technical Lead

I've filled pivotal leadership positions in tech for more than 15 years. Helping major South African companies improve their product and service offerings, I’m particularly passionate about unlocking the value where Ai intersects with business problems. 

My hands-on approach helps organizations achieve remarkable, tangible outcomes by closely aligning innovation with objectives. Often, new value streams and diversified creativity are birthed as a result. 

Ai is why I get up in the morning. The only way to make my clients' 'impossible' possible is to relentlessly chip away at core issues with a learning mindset.

It’s a real privilege to lead our team of outstanding baristas at:

Co-Founder & CEO at Lawyered Up | Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) | AI Automation | Legal Tech | Growth, Sales, Marketing, Operations | Podcast Host of What It Took

I am the Co-Founder and CEO of Lawyered Up, an AI-powered legal technology company helping businesses modernize contract management and legal operations. Our platform delivers Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) and AI automation, enabling organizations to create, review, manage, and execute contracts more efficiently, reduce legal friction, and operate with greater speed, clarity, and confidence.

I lead product strategy, revenue growth, partnerships, and go-to-market execution, scaling Lawyered Up across startups, SMEs, and enterprise clients in multiple markets. With a foundation in legal services and a background in marketing and growth, I focus on turning complex legal workflows into scalable, user-friendly technology that drives real business outcomes.

We are also building Klerk, Lawyered Up’s trusted legal expert network. Klerk connects individuals and businesses to vetted lawyers by bridging AI-powered legal tools with human legal judgment, enabling faster, clearer, and more accessible legal support when real expertise is needed.

Previously, I served as CEO of Boardroom Dating App, where I led product strategy, user growth, brand positioning, and monetization in a competitive consumer tech environment. That experience sharpened my ability to scale platforms, build engaged communities, and convert product traction into sustainable revenue.

In 2025, I launched Justice Up, a CSI initiative under Lawyered Up focused on expanding access to legal education, tools, and awareness, using technology to support a more informed and equitable society.

I also host the podcast What It Took, where I speak with founders, executives, and operators about resilience, execution, leadership, and the real journey behind building meaningful companies.

Beyond legal tech, I am passionate about sustainability, storytelling, and education. I am currently writing a children’s book inspired by my younger brother, focused on environmental responsibility and inspiring conscious action from a young age.

My experience spans AI automation, legal tech, CLM, product, revenue, sales, marketing, partnerships, operations, and scaling digital platforms. I am open to collaborations, advisory roles, partnerships, speaking opportunities, consulting, and meaningful growth opportunities aligned with innovation and impact.

If you are building, scaling, or rethinking what is possible, I am open to connecting.

I have been thinking about launching a podcast for nearly two years, and I have finally decided to build it.

In Q1 2026, I will be launching a 20 minute podcast series focused on honest conversations about building, resilience, decision making, and what it really takes to grow a business, a career, and a meaningful life.

Each episode will feature founders, operators, creatives, leaders, and people who have faced real challenges and pushed through them. This will not be surface level storytelling. It will be grounded, practical, and focused on lessons, trade offs, and growth.

At the end of each episode, we will also highlight tools, workspaces, and resources that have helped guests in their journeys, creating value for founders, startups, and professionals tuning in.

If there is someone you think should be on this podcast, tag them in the comments.
