Andrew D.

I have an MBA (Cum Laude) combined with 20 years of Business/HR/Recruitment experience, which has really assisted in crafting professional and insightful content for clients across a range of industries. I am also in the process of launching a freelancing platform in South Africa. Although this has been a daunting and difficult exercise, it has given me unique insights into how individuals and organisations quantify value within this space - hopefully I'll be able to pass some of these learnings on to you! I have been running my own business since 2010 focusing on coaching, recruitment, exit interviews and other ad hoc HR projects. I have also written a number of articles and assisted with content development for various clients. “A great pleasure to work with Andrew, will use again” Blumberg (UK Client) “Andrew assisted me with techniques that I could use to better navigate daily business complexities, as well as methods to facilitate difficult conversations and situations that I encountered” Shireen, Firstrand Group Learning Specialist Some Recent Achievements • Delivered an urgent project before deadline for a UK based consulting firm on best practice recommendations for Human Capital Analytics • Developed and received sign off on three business cases with a combined estimated cost saving to the ABSA Group of R70 million, in relation to the management of Learning and Development vendors • Successfully overcame and developed effective coping mechanisms and huge reservoirs of resilience and perseverance to manage 3 chronic auto-immune illnesses and lead a normal business and personal life
