Speaker | Venture Builder | Angel Investor | Fractional Strategy Officer

Most teams do not have a strategy problem. They have an execution gap.

The plan looks sharp. The decks are impressive. Everyone is busy.
Yet growth, revenue or impact stay flat.

I work in that gap as a Fractional Strategy and Operations Partner. I sit next to the CEO or Exco, align strategy, people and capital, and build the rhythms that keep everyone moving in the same direction.

I have operated on all sides of the table for 20+ years:
• Corporate: Group Strategy and M&A at Vodacom, working on multi billion rand deals and cross border growth.
• Venture building: MD of Investable and Director of Founder Institute South Africa, designing and running accelerators, venture studios and scale programmes.
• Capital: Angel investor and shareholder at Jozi Angels, reviewing deal flow and helping founders become truly investable.
• Complex situations: Chief of Staff / 2IC to a CEO through growth, funder fallout and business rescue.

Who I work with:
• Founders and funds that need clear priorities, OKRs, operating models and investor updates that tell the real story.
• Corporates that want innovation, venture building or accelerator programmes that link back to P and L, not theatre.
• Funders and ecosystem builders that need credible, auditable programmes and portfolio reporting.

What you can plug me in for:
• Strategy to execution translation.
• Operating model and governance design.
• Programme and venture portfolio design and delivery.
• Fundraising, capital strategy and stakeholder communication.
• Turnaround, wind down and “clean up the mess” mandates.

How I work:
Short, focused advisory sprints or retained support, usually 1 to 3 days a week equivalent, with a clear mandate and direct communication.

If your organisation is scaling faster than its systems, your innovation arm is busy but not moving the dial, or you need a trusted operator to co design and run founder programmes, send me a message and let us see if there is a fit.

Founder & Managing Director

Focused on Founders who are looking to raise angel to series A funding to scale their businesses. In addition to our advisory services, Founders can participate in a 3-month  programme which includes how to improve pitch materials, generate investor interest, create an investor pipeline, startup valuations, due diligence preparation, negotiation of terms and more.

IoT.nxt

IoT.nxt sold 51% ownership to Vodacom, announced on 13 May, 2019. IoT.nxt will become the core of the Vodacom/Vodafon IoT product lineup. I am so humbled to have been part of the core team when we accomplished this huge step in record time. The company is well positioned to become a defacto standard in the global IoT market.  

IoT.nxt is currently one of the few companies in the world that provides a fully integrated, comprehensive IoT hardware and software application platform from the edge to ERP across all verticals, products and devices. 

As a South Africa startup, we successfully compete head-on with multinational IoT solution providers by providing world-class technology at competitive prices, through our local support and development teams. 

IoT.nxt is an agnostic orchestration/management platform, for both legacy and emerging IoT, which introduces performance efficiencies and automated correlation of device metrics. It provides stringent security across all endpoints with the entire IoT ecosystem and is activity viewable in a single pain of glass. Since IoT.nxt is technology agnostic, it overcomes the challenge of connecting any and all devices or systems. This enables our customers to deploy the best of breed technologies (hardware / sensors / subsystems) while achieving interoperability and interconnectivity between all currently deployed systems and devices - from the edge to the Cloud. IoT.nxt makes driving efficiencies, cost savings and increased revenue a reality for businesses, allowing rapid deployment and real business action on an Internet of Things strategy, with little or no disruption to current operations.
