Every day, I’m inspired by the belief that courage, passion, and growth can unlock the unthinkable. My mission is simple: to help individuals optimize their potential and inspire teams to unite around a collective purpose. Because when we come together, we always win.
As the empathetic and driven CEO of Unthinkable, I’m passionate about people and solving complex problems. My journey started in South Africa, a land rich in both natural beauty and human potential. But with great potential come challenges—and I’ve learned that problems are opportunities waiting to be solved. I carry the wisdom of an African proverb close to my heart: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
For over three decades in the US, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside global leaders—from Fortune 50 companies to start-ups, and everything in between. I’ve led initiatives in scaling organization, from start-ups to global organizations, and have been part of over 150 exits and mergers. My unique blend of financial and strategic expertise, sharpened through my time as a partner at PwC Consulting, allows me to guide organizations with clarity and purpose.
Beyond the boardroom, my passion for growth and empowerment extends to founding the New York Soccer Club, where young athletes are inspired to reach their highest potential. I’ve also launched and advised numerous start-ups, spanning fields from affordable housing to sports training, online education, and technology.
Having faced the challenges of starting, scaling, adapting, and exiting businesses, I understand the complexities leaders face. My clients—from CEOs and entrepreneurs to family-owned businesses—value my ability to integrate seamlessly into their teams, providing them with the clarity and support to achieve excellence.
My philosophy is simple: clarity of vision, diversity of thought, and the compounding power of small wins lead to extraordinary outcomes. With a track record of success, and lessons learned from failures, I’m committed to helping organizations push boundaries and achieve what they once thought impossible.
Ready to unlock your potential? Let’s go far—together.
