Experience: 29 years

Director and Founder of Lifeforce

Strengths: Tax Law | Estate Planning | Business Assurance

As one of the three remaining founding members of Lifeforce, I am happy to hold the position of Financial Director. I have a particular interest in laws governing business in South Africa, with a special interest in tax law. This, combined with my PGD in Tax Law (UCT), leaves me well equipped to advise clients on business assurance and estate planning.

Independence as a financial planner offers clients the confidence that my advice is in no way biased towards a particular financial services provider and I value the opportunity to provide my clients with a wide range of options that will meet their expectations without tying them to one provider.

I enjoy hiking, cycling and mountain biking and try to visit exotic locations whenever I have the opportunity to travel.

I love spending time with my wife and two sons and appreciate my family’s support. I am a movie fanatic, wristwatch collector and enjoy being active, whether I’m playing sport or in the gym. I read as much as I can to stay in touch with current affairs and the ever-changing financial market. I enjoy what I do and rise to the challenge of having a diverse and growing client list. I have a BA in Economics and am a Registered Financial Planner. I have chosen to be an independent advisor so that I can always be in the best position to provide objective and comprehensive, relevant solutions to any client need, and can advise on the most suitable solution available from a wide range of products.

I am a creative person and enjoy photography, movies and keeping fit and healthy. I am a Registered Financial Planner and have National Higher Diplomas in Cost Accounting and Taxation. I am energized by spending time with my family and believe that balance is an essential cornerstone to success. I believe, too, that balance is key for a diverse and successful financial portfolio. In order to advise my clients in a sustainable and unbiased manner, being an independent consultant is imperative. I don’t believe that one product is suited to every client and enjoy the opportunity to offer, all of my clients, products from a wide range of insurance and investment houses.

Experience: 36 years

Member of Lifeforce

Strengths: Investments | Estate Planning

With almost three decades in this industry I have always had a heart to give my clients transparent and unbiased information regarding the policies, planning and investments that are available to them.

I began working with Liberty in the 1980’s, an amazing insurance house, but as the industry has expanded and the options multiplied, it has become important to me to establish myself as an independent planner. I am a CA and a member of the Institute of Life and Pension Advisors.

When it comes to healthy living, I believe that the best greens are on the golf course!

Experience: 19 years

Director and Founder of Lifeforce

With many years of experience under my belt I have found that the strong family values that I have always held as a priority stand one in good stead when dealing on a business level. I believe in dealing with people respectfully and remaining cognisant of what’s important to them.

Being an independent financial planner allows to me to put your needs first, not the needs of any specific insurance or investment house. I am able to assess your needs, dreams and goals and advise you with the best portfolio of products across the board.

I am enthusiastic about keeping fit and I read as often as I can to keep abreast of local and global economic trends.

Bio:

My passion for financial planning and wealth management stems from personally experiencing the results of poor financial advice in my own family. After seeing my father not being able to retire, I left my corporate career with a top 40 company to pursue a new career in Financial Services.

As a passionate investment specialist, I am dedicated to providing my clients with the best possible solutions and investment vehicles suited to their individual circumstances and financial needs. By pursuing long-term advisory relationships, I am able to arm clients with the strategies to attain their short-and long term financial goals so they can enjoy financially independent lives.

My qualifications include a B.com degree and two B.com Honours degrees which I later supplemented with a finance and investments specific qualification through the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments (CISI Level 4) to ensure I can give my clients quality advice.

Apart from work, I enjoy being a mother to a beautiful boy and a wife to my wonderful husband. I am also a keen trail runner, hiker and general outdoors enthusiast.
