Founder and CEO @ Whoosh Innovations (Pty) ltd

About

My technical and entrepreneurial acumen coupled by my experience has shaped me into being a scholar of unlocking value in the Start-Up scene. I assess opportunities and build products for them. I am Risk tolerant. I apply principles of value investing into my daily role. Currently focused on payments, which feels like a perpetual PHD thesis. Honoured to lead a 24+ growing team of payment enthusiasts. We are imminently launching a completely new approach to digital payments. Happy to connect with people who are obsessed with progress, have a bullish view on the fintech space and have a good heart. Oh....I was fortunate enough to have been able to successfully exit an investment.
