I am an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and business impact leader deeply committed to transforming industries and uplifting communities across Africa.

​

My journey began with a passion for recognizing opportunities where others see challenges and this has driven me to build a diverse portfolio that spans automotive, hospitality, real estate and investment.

​

Starting from humble beginnings, I’ve always believed in the power of strategic foresight and relentless drive. These principles have guided me in establishing successful ventures like Lionshare, a multifaceted investment company that has become a cornerstone in various sectors. Some of our key projects include the iconic Reef Hotel, Lionshare Auto Group and Sand River Resort.

​

But my work isn’t just about business; it’s about making a difference. Through the One Moment Foundation and the Ike Cha Foundation, I’m dedicated to tackling hunger, fighting poverty and empowering the next generation of African entrepreneurs. I believe that true success isn’t just measured by financial gain, but by the positive impact we can have on society.

​

My academic journey took me through the University of Cape Town and Thames Valley University, where I studied Industrial Psychology and Business Administration. These experiences, along with my time at global giants like The Coca-Cola Company and Procter & Gamble, have shaped my approach to leadership and growth.

​

Today, I’m driven by a mission to create value, inspire change and build a legacy that transcends generations. My journey is ongoing and I’m excited to continue innovating, investing and inspiring as I shape the future of business and philanthropy in Africa.
