Logistics Executive

Santova was another huge personal development journey for two very simple reasons – I knew nothing about logistics and I’d never worked for a listed company. Santova is a highly complex specialist international trade solutions business. My only instructions from the CEO were to develop business – simple?

Santova changed me more then I it. It now feels normal to wear a collared top and tie each day, and I’m far stronger working operationally and through processes. I worked hard, and for long hours. It was difficult and frustrating but a valuable part of my career.

Head of Business Development

CrashDetech is a revolutionary and award-winning life-saving app that aims to save lives through reducing emergency response times and inefficiencies in medical emergencies.

Creating, developing and commercializing CrashDetech is one of my proudest accomplishments. I learnt that I’m a social entrepreneur and really do care about my society and people. CrashDetech allows me to save lives without being a doctor.

Co-founder & CEO

Wellvest was my first venture. I started the company whilst trying to bag a gig at a corporate. I believe bringing healthy brain food to the office can boost productivity, improve wellness and help companies improve their bottom lines. I targeted the financial sector I’d studied for so long and encouraged them to provide their employees with daily parcels of fresh fruit. It was a low-cost strategy to improve employee’s health, happiness and hunger. We sponsored an orphanage delivering fresh fruit to their kids, and encouraged our clients to do the same using us as the vehicle.

(Not once, but twice)

Attempting the CFA programme was a roller-coaster ride. I enjoyed the content, I enjoyed the exhilaration of exam day, and most of all I enjoyed whacking the keys of my reverse polish notation calculator at jet speed thinking I’m the next wolf of Wall street. Truthfully, finance is not my passion and I failed CFA 1 twice. It hurt at the time. I felt embarrassed and ashamed, but eventually I moved past and was able to take the positives away from this experience. I developed discipline, I learnt to look at logic, and I acquired the skill to pick myself up when ever something defeated me.

Class of 2012

UNISA presented unprecedented scale and diversity of opportunity. Completing a full-time degree whilst studying part time (before and after work) across multiple disciplines pushed me to expand, challenge, and adjust my worldview. I realized finance wasn’t my calling pretty quickly but persevered to prove even when things don’t come naturally, they are still possible. My time at UNISA exercised my creative muscle, sparked my obsession with innovating solutions and strengthened my tolerance to adversity.

Class of 2008

I’m grateful for these five years away from home. Michaelhouse was where I learned how to articulate my ideas, compete fiercely but with humility in competitive events, fell in love with learning, facilitated service events for the local community, preform in front of full crowds as a pianist, and discovered a passion for innovation. It is also where I began my first entrepreneurial venture.
