I have over 16 years’ experience in Transformation, Corporate Social Investment, Marketing, Inclusion & Diversity, Public Relations & Brand management. I possess a deep passion for South Africa, Sub Saharan Africa, development and transformation. My main passion is developing people/ communities to reach their full potential.

I’m currently employed as The Executive Head of Corporate Citizenship and Inclusion and Diversity at Accenture overseeing the portfolio across Africa (Reporting to the CEO: Africa). In this portfolio I’m responsible for strategic management and implementation of the company’s Transformation, Inclusion and Diversity, Corporate Social Investment and Stakeholder Engagement including implementing all initiatives for these programmes. I’m particularly passionate about the role technology plays in bridging our developmental gaps. I have led teams in the Design and Scale of Digital and Blended Learning Programmes to improve employment and entrepreneurship outcomes

Accenture’s commitment to our people and to accelerating equality for all has never been more relevant than it is today – to drive our innovation agenda and act as responsible business leaders. It enables us to attract, develop, inspire and reward top talent. And it creates an environment that unleashes innovation, allows our people to perform at their very best and underpins a culture in which everyone feels they have an equal opportunity to belong and build a career. As the Inclusion and Diversity lead, I lead teams in bringing Accenture’s commitment to life. Key areas of focus include gender, ethnicity, LGBTI, religion, persons with disabilities and cross-cultural diversity. This commitment starts at the top with our executive chairman, chief executive officer and Board. And we expect leaders at all levels to help create and sustain a culture of equality where everyone can advance and thrive.

Prior to joining Accenture, I was the Group Corporate Social Investment (CSI) Manager at MMI Holdings. MMI Holdings was born out the Merger of two large Financial Services companies, Momentum and Metropolitan. I spearheaded the formalisation and successful integration of the CSI activities at MMI Holdings in line with the company’s strategic intent, and relevant legislation including the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) Act, the Codes of Good Practice and the Financial Sector Codes.
