About this session

Career growth rarely happens by accident. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you build a clearer roadmap for where you want to go next and how to get there. Whether you are aiming for a promotion, preparing for a bigger role, or feeling stuck in your current position, this session helps you turn broad ambition into a practical career strategy.

You’ll work with an experienced mentor to define your next step, identify the skills and signals that matter, and create a plan for making progress inside your current company or beyond it. Together, you can assess your strengths, spot gaps, map out promotion criteria, and think through how to build visibility, ownership, and momentum over time. The goal is to leave with more clarity, better direction, and a concrete plan to move your career forward with intention.

Your mentor

I help build better people and products. I work with founders and companies strategizing, designing and building AI products. I also work with people to explore what goes unseen, through honest inquiry and the kind of presence that only comes from someone who has been there themselves.

I've spent over twenty years working across technology, startups, and human development. I've led design at Google Switzerland, shaped product strategy at Consensys MENA, and co-founded Mamo, a DFSA-licensed fintech. I've also been an Acumen Global Fellow, working on financial inclusion through microfinance in rural Asia.

Today I work with founders and companies on AI product strategy, experience design, and design leadership. I also advise on design team culture and organisation design, and invest in ventures aligned with mental health, sustainability, and forward-facing technology.

Alongside the consulting work, I coach. I'm a Certified Co-Active Coach and PCI Certified Integration Practitioner, trained in harm reduction, trauma-aware practice, and ethics. My approach is shaped by over a decade of personal practice including meditation, somatic work, plant medicine, Vipassana retreats, and the Hoffman Process.

I'm based in Cape Town. I work with clients worldwide.
