I like to believe I'm a grower of people, a data-nut, a raconteur, a lover of sales, a coach, a professional speaker, an author and standup comedian.

I eat, sleep and breathe leadership, technology and business growth. From working with some of the world's top leaders for the past 2 decades, my goal is to continue to understand, create and drive narrative, process and structure for individuals and organisations alike, in order to achieve true business success.

In the office, my goal is simply to achieve growth not only for the business, but for the individuals in the team as well, and by doing so growth will happen for our customers and their customers too. Focusing on technology in the Customer Experience and Marketing arenas, the primary objective of YOUKNOW is to ensure organisations have their customer data at their fingertips, in real-time, to enable them to make educated business decisions for growth.

On stage, my focus is bridging the gap between corporate content and entertainment. Through working on organisational strategies for over a decade and building a comedy career since 2008, finding the sweet spot between both is where the magic happens. The output? An MC and speaker with a wealth of deep-set knowledge and appreciation for the corporate beast, with enough perspective to provide educational and entertaining anecdotes, tales, metaphors, analogies and a healthy dose of recapitulation for good measure. I've also shared the stage with international music legends Oasis, Korn and Muse, hosted brand launches for several international brands in SA, I'm a TEDx speaker, and have been fortunate enough to speak to audiences at Heavy Chef, Internetix, and a multitude of Enterprise and SME conferences and events.I like to believe I'm a grower of people, a data-nut, a raconteur, a lover of sales, a coach, a pr
