Summary

As the CEO and founder of a software startup, I combine my financial expertise and years in the startup environment to unite operational, technical, and financial teams in delivering innovative solutions. My goal is to simplify processes, streamline communication, and ensure a data-driven approach to decision-making. Before launching my company, I spent two years as a senior financial manager in a consulting role, guiding international startups across diverse sectors in the U.S. and Europe.

I am an ACCA member (2022), holding a PGDip in Specialized Accountancy with Distinction from the University of Witwatersrand (2021) and a BAccounting degree from Stellenbosch University (2018).

My early career at First National Bank provided invaluable experience. I began as an Executive Assistant, contributing to strategic planning and project management. By October 2019, I transitioned to a solution specialist role, where I specialized in quantitative business casing, operational costing, and strategic process enhancements. Later, as a financial manager, I supported business enablers in developing budgets, costing models, and implementing tools like PowerBi dashboards and time-tracking systems.

My entrepreneurial journey began with Maroi Vhengele (Farm Shop) in 2010 and expanded to founding Slippy Pty (Ltd), holding Patent no. 2015/07228. Innovation and entrepreneurship are my driving passions. I’ve initiated various ventures, both successful and challenging, each shaping my resilience and deepening my business acumen.
