I am really good at building brands off the back of digital and social media. I know how to build communities first and launch products after. I won a few film awards back in the day and have taken that love for telling stories and focused it into being a brand venture builder. I don't like building where it's crowded. I love building where nobody else is.

I recently built a brand with two friends into 33 countries globally. Prior to that I built some great eCommerce companies in South Africa. 

I am ridiculously passionate about helping startups find their voice. I am fortunate enough to spend some of my time coaching startups on how to tell their story better and how to use free tools to build their businesses.

Vision2026. We are working on what The Lekker Network looks like in 2026. Taking everything we have learned over the first few months and optimise the entire experience. 

A small taste of what we are looking at implementing:

🚀 A powerful new onboarding process that will allow us to get key pieces of information from new members like "What can you offer and how can you help others" and "What are your goals for the next few months". When we understand what a persons goals are we are able to better spark opportunities between people we know could help achieve those goals through some incredible tech we are building. 

🚀 The Golden Connector Programme. This programme brings in some of the most influential South Africans around the world to help create high-impact opportunities for others. Each Connector commits to moving three mountains a year for those that need help with really big asks. It’s a simple and powerful way for South Africa’s most accomplished people to help others soar. Cannot wait to launch this early next year!!

🚀 A trip to Silicon Valley where we will be getting access to companies that are building the future.

🚀 A trip to China to see what the future already looks like and explore opportunities. 

🚀 A trip to Dubai to meet and connect with influential Saffas in a broad range of categories. 

🚀 Launching an Export Studio together with some of the smartest people in this space. 

🚀 Impact Pods (can't give too much away but this is going to be powerful)

🚀 A big focus on building out more chapters around the world and connecting the South African Diaspora. Our 10th province.

The ultimate goal of becoming the most powerful incubator of South African potential around the world and giving people ACCESS that would normally take them years to get! What better way to access international markets than through South Africans that are already there! 

The best part? The by-product is more opportunities and jobs flowing back home! 

Have a good Sunday.

So good to sit with Iain Banner this morning and share the vision of The Lekker Network! 

Iain your story about the inception of the Laureus Awards was so flipping inspiring! Proving all the way back then that Saffas can excel on a global stage. And then hearing your story about Madiba in that very first meeting with all who were involved with Laureus and what he said about the power of sport!!

‘Sport has the power to change the world. It can unite nations in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. It is far more powerful than governments will ever be in bringing about change. Sport, has the power to change the world’. 

Thanks for a lekker chat and can’t wait to potentially do some cool things together.

RUBIXILE

InCube has been a journey I have been on for many years. It started in my 3rd year of studies where we had to come up with an idea for a website. My idea was to make a website that will make other websites. Now InCube is a platform that takes ideas towards viable businesses by digitizing consulting and innovation and making it available at the finger tips of entrepreneurs, subject matter experts and organizations big and small.

Chief Venture Architect

RubixCube as the flagship product of Rubixile is a vendor agnostic B2B and B2C social business engineering platform that assists individuals and organizations in reducing their time to market by reducing time to analyze, design, specify and continuously improve their ventures and its related products and service offerings.

Purpose

“To make the world a better place for everyone through innovation”

Vision

“To establish a self-service eco-system where all businesses are architecturally managed, defined and capable of creating breakthrough, innovative competencies through dynamic resource and information asset orchestration”

Mission

“Relentlessly pursue excellence in the methodical, business and technological application of business capabilities”

“Develop and continuously innovate and evolve a business capability platform”

Owner

Open Consulting Group

Our way of working is fundamentally different from consulting as it is broadly recognised today.

We learn constantly.
We value professional work ethic.
We embrace constructive criticism and diversity.
We believe in the power of teams and individual talent.
We openly share our knowledge with anyone who adheres to our principles.
We encourage innovation, creativity and experimentation.

The purpose of the Open Consulting Group is to create a strong bond of trust and value offering. Our goal is that the people and organisations we work for can rely on our network as much as we already do.

My current position requires of me to define and implement processes within the organization. These processes vary from project management, change control, SDLC and supporting services. Enterprise and specifically Business and Data architecture are specific focuses that are applied to ensure that the strategic intent of the group is met.

Enterprise Architect

healthbridge

At healthbridge I fulfilled the dual role of project manager and business analyst. My main responsibility was on the company's flagship product called mypractice. Mypractice served the function of submitting real time medical aid claims between Physicians (providers) and medical aids (funders) via a messaging switch and a flex enabled front-end. Together with fellow Product Success Managers, Business Analysts, offshore Software Developers and Software Testers we developed and enhanced the real-time claims capture and submission and debtors management modules. These modules ensured full end-to-end transactions between provider, patient and funders in a workflow fashion.

Team leader

The world is in an extremely weird state, comprising challenges as well as opportunities.

It would make me extremely happy to see each and every human being be the best that they can be. To see everyone in control of their own lives and jumping out of bed each and every morning, knowing that every piece of energy projected will go towards making this beautiful planet a better place.

Chief Venture Architect and the creator of InCube, I am dedicated to transforming ideas into thriving business ventures. My expertise lies in venture building and business architecture, where I develop critical elements of business vision and strategy. I excel in collaborating with cross-functional teams to create compelling value propositions and in guiding ventures from the initial concept to market launch. My skills span from strategy to execution, involving designing robust business models and crafting product, value proposition, and strategy blueprints that ensure long-term success. I assist ventures in acquiring key capabilities in adaptability, desirability, feasibility, and viability, ensuring they are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of the market.

InCube is a digital platform that supports, monitors, and manages new and existing business ventures. The aim is to democratize specific areas of entrepreneurship by connecting new and existing ventures with guides or subject matter experts who can then work together in ecosystems to empower as many people as possible.

Please join me and my partners on this journey. There is more than enough for all of us. We just need to believe it.
