Bio
Miranda Bond
Larry provided CFO services to Inika both for myself as CEO and the board. Larry has extensive experience both in operations, finance and as a CEO so his advice was always well rounded and extremely practical. I have also relied on Larry's business and financial advice in my other business endeavours and have no hesitation in recommending him. Larry has the highest levels of integrity and has been a fantastic mentor to me in business. Larry is the first person I call if I have a problematic business issue and need a sounding board.
Mariel Naidoo
During his stay with the company Larry proved himself to be an inspirational leader who led by example. Staff at all levels appreciated his informal manner and consistent treatment. As the Managing Director he contributed positively to developing our team dynamic. Larry took his responsibilities seriously and performed them in an exemplary way. Although he took care of the big picture he was very aware of and involved in the important details that made Trubok tick and could be relied upon to provide valuable guidance when necessary.
