Shonaquip Social EnterpriseBusiness Development Consultant - South Africa
Mar. 2024 - Oct. 2024Western Cape, South AfricaThis role was composed of a Business Development Consultancy period of 8 months to assist both the Founder of Shonaquip Social Enterprise and the SSE Team in further developing their hybrid Social Enterprise Business model in terms of its public/private/export sector focus. By achieving a successful transformation, in terms of its focus, it was envisaged that the resulting sales and profitability of the Commercial Business (which designs and locally manufactures mobility and postural support devices) would improve, thus generating additional funding for the Social Enterprise (Uhambo Foundation) and its important social objectives. During this time I gained invaluable experience in a new sector (disability and assistive technology), as well as consolidating my experience in hybrid (social/commercial) business models.
The South African Medical Technology Industry Association (SAMED)Member Relations & Office Manager - South Africa
Dec. 2022 - Oct. 2023Randburg, Gauteng, South AfricaFollowing the closure of Umsinsi Health Care, this role initially began as a few weeks of 'assistance' offered to the EO of our Industry Association, SAMED, while they searched for a permanent replacement for the previous incumbent. Just under a year later, we finally had the best possible team member in place, while I also learned some valuable added skills in the process; working within a membership organisation, member relations and recruitment, payroll, bookkeeping, member forums, committees and events, working with external professional services suppliers and office management. A challenging experience, that was most rewarding.

Nov. 2008 - Feb. 2023South AfricaUmsinsi Health Care was established as a social enterprise in fairness, equality and reconciliation in the South African healthcare industry, powered by a commercial business that loved, protected and cared for skin across both the public and private health sectors. Our particular focus was the delivery of improved wound care (education and skills development, as well as medical devices) in a country that remains deeply wounded, both literally and metaphorically, following the end of apartheid in the 1990’s. We were the first company in SA to adopt the UK John Lewis Partnership Business Model, via our ownership by the Love Health Partnership, as an integral part of our innovative transformation strategy for sustainable growth, powered by reconciliation and diversity. Alongside an immensely successful 'LOVE SKIN' campaign, which had a significant positive impact on our wound and stoma care sales, we developed and launched a successful online shop for our products and accredited our online Wound Care Academy for CPD points with the South African Medical Association (SAMA).
