My analytical Engineering degree and my subsequent business studies have complemented by career in business turnarounds which I began at Accenture (London) where I initially focused on corporate renewals and rehabilitation. Later I worked at Ford (Europe) and then in post acquisition integration and turnarounds, (eBay- France) and Barclays (ABSA). Two years ago, after successful engagements in banking and insurance, I decided to address a huge need in the SME market and resigned my very comfortable executive position (Executive of Strategic Change) to focus on the SME markets and its needs. I began writing up and freely providing online tools, tutorials, techniques, templates, blogs and presentations for under-performing and distressed SMEs, (www.spark-sme-services.co.za). I have presented what I think are simple,powerful and insightful resources for any business wishing to use them.
