This mix of skills has allowed me to work across the entire planet. But no matter where my work takes me, I always look forward to returning home to my beautiful Cape Town. Besides jamming music with my friends, I feel most passionate about helping to build a better future for my city, my country, and my continent.

Over 20 years ago as a senior policy making civil servant in the UK Government Department of Health. I realised, along with some supportive colleagues, that many policies are medium to long term, much broader than they appear (the law of unintended consequences) and the external environment will impact on them. As Head of Strategic Planning I embedded this process at Board level and it spread across other Govt Departments. After that I moved to Head of Health and Protection at the Association of British Insurers (dealing with issues such as genetics and discrimination) and since then have been a Fellow at SAMI Consulting.
