Background/experience
My career spans over 14 years in structured finance in the corporate market with originated and financed transactions both in SA and across the Middle East, East Africa, and West Africa.
Some of the transaction types and milestones concluded include:
- Expansion capital lending to SA corporates;
- Cross border structured aviation financing to corporates and high net worth individuals in West Africa and the Middle East;
- Establishing a successful Supplier Finance business within Investec CIB driven by handpicked experienced industry professionals;
- Establishing customer finance programmes with Africa-focused global multinationals to enable them to drive sales to the corporate market;
- Current focus has recently pivoted into client coverage, leading a team of highly experienced client relationship managers to originate transactions mainly for the corporate banking division of Investec.
Prior to joining Investec in 2005, I worked at Deloitte as a manager in the advisory unit of the Financial Institutions Services division (FIST) where I led and executed notable projects in the private and public sector. Prior to that, I served my articles in FIST and during that time I worked on and managed audits for banking groups, private equity, and retirement fund institutions.
