IC Knowledge BureauKnowledge Merchant

Mar. 2017Johannesburg Area, South AfricaAs a strategist, analyst and facilitator, few things are as rewarding as presenting the most essential and relevant insights for my various audiences. My aim is to present unique, knowledge-rich considerations that can be applied immediately to unlock immense value instantly. Having spoken at conferences such as Finance Indaba 2017, corporates such as Universal Music, and events like Transunion's Retail Advisory Board and Eskom's Trendspotting, I am as comfortable responding to a client brief as I am presenting keynotes that I have formulated with the aim of adding something crucial that is missing from the organisational dialogue. My varied experience, insatiable curiosity and ability to see things differently helps add a valuable dimension to any discourse. Should you have an opportunity for me to contribute to your event, workshop or seminar please contact mbali@iconoclasts.co.za or shivon@fogg.agency. I look forward to making a memorable contribution to your event.
