Bandile Gwebu

I have long aspired to explore the world, business and its intricacies. This desire has led me to travel across the oceans to Europe and North America respectively, beginning in the United Kingdom, where I was first introduced to the world of international finance, investment management and more importantly sales. My return to South Africa presented a stark contrast to Europe the dire state of our country’s education and training system.

I have since been engaged in the field of education management and selling workplace integrated training and development solutions for both the public and private sector. My own passion for information technology and its capability to transform our daily lives has dictated my pursuit of the relevant certifications in the field of Business Intelligence. I regularly engage with leading multinational and South African organizations that are focused on digital transformation, staff development and business sustainability. Selling is my passion and I believe the key source of any business’ growth and sustainability

I am a passionate and accomplished SMME Co-Owner with a track record of success in business development, customer service and team building possessing an entrepreneurial spirit, deep understanding of market trends, with a keen eye for growth opportunities.

I am a detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills with the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy.
