my story

I've been working at the forefront of the tech industry since 2007. Being one of the first well recognised digital marketers in South Africa, I worked at numerous successful digital agencies and startups before Google came knocking. As employee number 11 of Google South Africa, I thrived in an pioneering environment where Google had yet to fully establish its presence on the African continent. After taking over YouTube for South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, I grew the South African market substantially and helped open up new markets in Kenya and Nigeria.

After 3 successful years in South Africa, I decided it was time to broaden my horizons and so I transferred to Paris to join the most prestigious product team in Europe, as the mobile video product lead for EMEA (Europe, Middle East Africa). My task was to grow mobile video revenues across the region and to train and educate the Google salesforce and external partners on a very important behavioural trend that was about to emerge.

During this time I decided to follow my passion for psychology and so I completed a masters degree in Analytical Depth Psychology through the Pacifica Institute (U.S.A), majoring in Archetypal and Mythological studies. My underlying fascination with patterns of behaviour and belief in classical wisdom lead me to delve deep into the topic of myth.

As we enter into a new technological age, I am now on a mission to understand what artificial intelligence is, what it is not and what role we as human beings and organisations need to play in order to best navigate these very uncertain times. I strongly believe there is much we can learn from mythology and ancient wisdom in order to draw ethical lines and develop a technological philosophy that will be to our benefit not our demise. Time is precious, and the decisions we make today will have the greatest impact for human kind than ever before, so best we think deeply about it!
