Current title Executive Chairperson, Young Women in Business Network Course at Wits Business School Master of Management in Entrepreneurship & New Venture Creation, 2014 A defining moment in my career The most defining moment in my life was when I realised that black women could own a bank that focuses on entrepreneurs, but most importantly it was having my own people affirming my dream by supporting it financially. It is realising the power in numbers that we have as black people, the power of collaboration and working together to change our previously disadvantaged narrative, it is living the future that my mind has seen and making it come to life. Nothing beats waking up every morning to not only change my life but the lives of others too.

    Looking back, two defining moments stand out for me. The first was enrolling for a Wits MBA as a result of the encouragement from my late dad. At the time it was very unusual for a medical doctor to do an MBA and I am indebted to the then dean, Prof Andy Andrews, for putting his faith in me and accepting me onto the course.

    After coming back from South Africa to Germany I started my career at Mercedes. I had the great opportunity to work for a well-known company and brand. I made a corporate career by going through different projects, functions and divisions. But after some years I had doubts that the corporate career path was the right one for me.
