Gaining experience in loan-book administration for Nedcor Bank, he was recruited by ABSA Bank, establishing a division for structuring businesses for the banks’ clients.

In between these roles, John was appointed to a US top-tier private University to establish numerous African co-hort’s for their online MBA (and other) business degrees. Apart from being the South African Director of this first Global Centre, John developed global and local fund-raising platforms and networks in support of the University’s growth in South Africa. (At the same time he also completed a Masters degree in Organizational Leadership).

“C12 is everything I was looking for and more of what I didn’t know I needed. My peers challenge me in my blind spots, love me in hard times, and encourage me to glorify God in the way I lead my team. It’s a home for business leaders.”
