A defining moment in my career
A defining moment in my career has been the ability to start a business and sustain its growth in a highly competitive market. In 2016, following the completion of my PDM, I jumped into my “big girl panties” and decided to transition a hobby into a formalised business. I don’t believe that I would have had the confidence or skills to do so had it not been for the generalist coverage gained throughout my WBS years and the network I was able to create for myself.

I feel honoured and proud to be a young entrepreneur, to create employment for other young people, and to deliver value through my business Corium Skincare. My entire life shifted the day I realised that I can actually do it, and I went for it!

    After spending about ten years in corporate South Africa from 1981 to 1991, I was overlooked for a marketing position that became available. The marketing manager would not even allow me to be interviewed.

    The defining moment of my career happened when I was 12 years old. My father was the managing director of Glenton & Mitchell in the Eastern Cape, the company that launched Joko Tea during the first half of the 20th century.

    It’s not easy to pinpoint one defining moment. There have been a number that has shaped the person and professional I am today. One person (and series of events) that stands out was a young patient of mine during my internship year as a junior doctor.
