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!

Two events forged my career path. When I was 29, I came up with a concept that I sold to my then employer, Telkom. I used to run the advertising and promotions department for Telkom when I started working on a plan to pitch selling advertising space on phone cards.

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.

As an activist and a businessman, I experienced several defining moments in my career. I completed my MBA at Wits Business School in 1971. I could not find any meaningful employment as the predominantly white corporate business sector would not employ people of colour in senior management positions.
