IN THIS ISSUE (APRIL 2023 - ISSUE 5)

In early 2002 I decided to retire from corporate, and I decided to start my own company. The decision came about after I realized that my dream of becomi ng a CEO of a big organization was fading away, and I was getting old. I already had an idea of what I wanted to do. Since I already had work in the following industries: insurance, banking, pension, provident funds, and healthcare funding. I felt the urge to move. I felt a strong desire to be the CEO of my company, which was the only way to achieve my dream.

SOuth African whistlrblowers left to themselves

The name William Wallace (1270–1305) is synonymous with all notions of bravery. Sir William Wallace, a Scottish Knight, fought fiercely for the independence of Scotland from England, which, it was argued, had corruptly taken control of the country. The English brutally murdered Wallace during the war, but his principled stance and legacy served as inspiration for Scotland’s resistance, which eventually succeeded in 1823. His life, death, and heroism were portrayed in the 1995 American film Braveheart. 

Discipline and persistence are key to execution

I’ve always been fascinated by technology and its power to solve society’s problems. That’s likely why I spend so much of my life considering the implications of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and other so-called “emerging technologies” on all parts of our lives, from how we work and play to how we tackle our generation’s most pressing challenges. It’s also become the key focus of my work at FNB.

ISSUE 3 OCTOBER 2022

As a proud South African, and someone who respects the Constitution and democracy, I know that the constitution is more than a document or a leather-bound book on a bookshelf. It is a breathing, living document that guides the way the nation lives and respect each other. It is a testament to the will of the negotiators.

ISSUE 4 JANUARY 2023

We have all heard that ‘every thousand-miles journey starts with a single step.’ I wish to differ and rephrase that every thousand-mile journey starts with a vision. Vision is what keeps us going and infuses life into our being. It is the vision that many of us were teased with, “what do you want to be when you grow up.”
