Experience

QBIT Africa

• South Africa

• CEO

  • Mar 2017 - Present

  My vision for QBIT Africa is to continue building on QBIT’s solid legacy of client-centric value-adding consulting and solutions. I am particularly passionate about shifting market perception about the value of consultants, and specifically, changing the narrative about black consulting professionals. There is a rapidly growing number of capable and qualified black professionals who can add enormous value to this profession, not because they are black, but because they are technically, exceptionally strong and committed to the profession.I believe in the African proverb that says: ‘If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.’ To this end, I will advance strategic partnerships to grow our business and capture the market with our unique value proposition. I will also be purposefully expanding our service offerings beyond South African boarders.
