John started his career as a Defence Force Officer and this was the first time he experienced strategy, leadership and coaching first hand. This foundation was to stand John in good stead for the future. John’s dedication to the task at hand as well as the outcomes he produced meant receipt of multiple commendation certificates along his journey.

John then joined a major bank in Africa and started at grassroots level and worked his way up to senior management levels at a very early age. Building a very impressive track record, John received numerous performance awards for his direct involvement in various change management projects with amongst others Bain Capital, corporate strategic initiatives, solid personal as well as his various sales teams performances.

Seeking a new challenge John moved to Barclays Bank in Africa. The two main components of this challenge was management of an extensive and segmented sales force across the country as well as being part of the pioneering team to set up non-branch banking. This was so successful that it became Barclays global flagship example of how to approach this client acquisition channel. This also afforded global exposure and development of an international perspective so critical in today’s business world.
