I previously worked in several senior executive roles at Discovery and served on the central executive committee as well as on the board of Discovery Health.

A medical doctor by qualification and have many qualifications from several business schools including Harvard, Columbia, Wits and the University of Michigan.

Being an independent financial adviser lets me advise clients across a large range of solutions because finding a solution with the right insurer is most important. Very few advisers can advise across the range of solutions; we do. We advise about risk business, investments and retirement business, short-term insurance (both personal lines and commercial lines), employee benefits, healthcare and wellness. In 20 years, I have never not been able to put a solution forward to a client.

It’s crucial to be able to consult with clients either face to face or virtually. This is a big differentiator because not many advisers out there can do that. It’s important to be able to understand clients, to listen and then to co-create innovative solutions.

I understand data and use that extensively with clients. This makes a massive difference across the various age groups I consult to. It’s the ability to interpret and use the data to, in turn, co-create solutions makes us, as a business, stand out.

We must under promise and over deliver. I believe in honesty, integrity, drive, kindness and a high EQ.

I have found that we should always surround ourselves with positive, successful people; then anything is achievable. Something a colleague told me probably 16 years ago has always stuck with me. That was: whatever your task, it is as big as you want to make it, so always push to achieve more than you can imagine because you will surprise yourself with what is possible and the outcome. I refuse to accept average myself and with whoever I work with because average is forgettable.

Over 20 years, I’ve held many roles from financial adviser (tied agent) to independent financial adviser, sales manager, regional manager, Special Projects, and executive head for both retail and institutional investments.

My qualifications are a Diploma in Financial Markets and Instruments, Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Planning, and Certified Financial Planner. I am currently completing an MBA.

On a personal note, my mom passed away at a young age, and I was a young adult myself and at a turning point in my life. I was not prepared for this, and I had to learn to take on challenges on my own with tenacity. I had to find my own path.
