ACES AcademyDirector
Apr. 2023 - Nov. 2024Cape Town, Western Cape, South AfricaServing as the Director of ACES Academy has been an incredible journey of growth, innovation, and impact. Over the past year and a half, I had the privilege of developing a portfolio of partnerships with some of the most respected names in the industry, ensuring that our training was delivered using the highest quality products, expertise, and resources. Our partners’ dedication—offering their time, knowledge, and cutting-edge technology—was instrumental in building an academy that sets a new standard for Solar PV education in South Africa. My role extended beyond the academy itself, as I was honored to be a speaker at numerous prestigious events across South Africa, sharing insights on renewable energy education, industry innovation, and the urgent need for accessible learning opportunities. Establishing strategic connections with content suppliers and industry bodies, while driving the academy toward key accreditations, was a mission rooted in my deep belief that education should be a right, not a privilege. As I step away from this role, I do so with immense pride in what we have built and excitement for the academy’s continued success. The impact of high-quality, industry-aligned training is just beginning, and I look forward to seeing the next wave of skilled professionals shape the future of renewable energy.
