SHAUN MUSUNGATE
Cape Town
Summary
Dynamic and highly motivated professional with a diverse background in business development, communications, and finance. Over the past few years, I’ve honed my skills as an ambassador for Climate Actions Now, where I successfully led fundraising efforts and helped secure international grants through innovative outreach. Additionally, I gained valuable exposure to financial markets through an internship at AG Capital, where I developed a keen understanding of market trends and investment strategies.
With a natural ability to connect with people at all levels, including high-net-worth individuals, I bring strong communication and relationship-building skills that enable me to thrive in dynamic environments. My entrepreneurial mindset, combined with a passion for learning, drives my eagerness to take on new challenges and grow professionally. Currently expanding my knowledge in the IT sector, I’m excited to leverage my diverse skill set and contribute to a forward-thinking, innovative company like BMW.
