My extensive and intensive network of financing partners, trading counter-parties, ancillary service associates (such as developers, lawyers, engineers, franchise associations, pension/provident funds, regulators etc) enable me to stay way ahead of market movements, take enlightened positions and add real value to my team. In addition to the technical side, I have an acute understanding of the strategic structuring processes such as boardroom selection, supplier/clients partnerships as well as the need to manage the corporate image through various media outlets.

National Capital Central Investment Bank
March 2013
Legislation will be signed paving the way for a Central Investment Bank, fully financed and capacitated by Government to manage a National Development Fund. Government will share ownership with a Fund Manager consortium headed by the Participating Financiers. Parliament will establish legal framework, whilst the South African Reserve Bank will perform the oversight function. The fund will be marketed extensively throughout the nation by Government, media and employers. A New Venture Capital Exchange and Structured Finance Exchange will be institutionalised to facilitate faster and more economic capital raising activities by utilising a standard project proposal template mechanism, electronic authentication of legal documents, online auctioneering system connected to the major financiers amongst other innovations. The Fund Managers' Consortium will partner with Government structures nationwide to establish satellite offices in existing infrastructure whereby aspiring entrepreneurs can submit drafts on business ideas, receive a professional standard business plan, get their polished business plans sent electronically through the New Venture Exchange, as well as access to national suppliers and buyers list .less
