My business experiences date back to my days in the village, where from the age of 6 I worked in my family's business. My father owned a car repair workshop and wood cutting businesses. Prior to co-founding Coronet Blockchain in 2019, I had been involved in management consulting, specialising in access to new markets.

Key highlights include scaling a new business from 500 USD to 2 million USD within 36 months. We then received two funding tranches from a US multinational, to build Coronet, a tailored blockchain enabled supply chain solution to disrupt Africa’s supply chains, starting with the hair extensions.

Our vision leading to 2030: covers the top 3 BFFs: Beauty, Fashion and Food, supply chains. Leveraging tech, for social good across 9 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In a not so distant past: my daily focus used to be the building of bridges between communities and large multinational entities. Including the creation of social labor plans (SLPs) for mining and manufacturing sectors, to ensure mutual gains between the businesses and the communities they operated in.

Amongst my highlights wearing that hat, was when I spearheaded the development of a ZAR 29 billion social impact investment framework (an SLP) to create a blue-print social benefit system that was adapted by the government to be used as a national accountability framework for the sector.
