Oct 2009 - Mar 2010
Co-founded a company that challenged the status quo in the South African financial services sector. We educated and provided a much wider range of financial products to the lower end of the South African market than what was then sold to the target market at that time. Trained young unemployed people to sell financial products. Educated local communities on financial products.
