Tie

Charter Member - The Indus Entrepreneurs

Jan 2026Present · 5 mos · Remote

  • TiE Jodhpur, part of TiE Global.
  • The world's largest non-profit fostering entrepreneurship through mentoring, networking, education, and funding. Charter Membership is by invitation, extended to veteran entrepreneurs and senior executives who commit to giving back to the next generation of founders.
  • A hometown tie: I completed my B.Com (Honors) at the University of Jodhpur before a global career across South Africa, Singapore, India, and the USA. Returning to support the Jodhpur founder community closes a loop that matters to me.
  • What I bring to the chapter:
  • Mentoring early-stage founders on go-to-market and predictable, repeatable revenue
  • B2B sales transformation playbooks proven across Fortune 100 and early-stage SaaS
  • Cross-border perspective and a network spanning four continents

The lekker network

Member - The Lekker Network - Connecting Extraordinary South Africans Around the World

Jan 2026Present · 5 mos · Remote

  • The Lekker Network connects South Africans everywhere (entrepreneurs, executives, and innovators) through one operating principle: "How can I help you?" Membership follows a values-based vetting interview, anchored in the conviction that South Africans are South Africa's best export.
  • A homecoming of sorts: my career started in Johannesburg in 1993 and included 15 years of learning and grwoth in Jo'burg. TLN closes the loop between where I come from and the work I do today via Jabulani Consulting and RISEUP@work.
  • How I contribute:
  • Strategic advisory and sounding-board support for members building or scaling B2B businesses
  • Sales transformation, sales hiring, and go-to-market clinics drawn from 34 years across four countries
  • Author and thought leadership on careers, sales, and leadership

Riseup@work

Founder

Jul 2025Present · 11 mos · Houston, Texas, United States · Remote

  • Founder | RISEUP@work
  • Do good initiative focused on building career progression support for young professionals at the most formative stage of their careers.
  • RISEUP@work is how I am building a new kind of career infrastructure for people aged 21 to 30 who are early in their careers and need more than just guidance on getting hired.
  • RISEUP@work is a career progression platform created to support individuals during the years that shape confidence, decision-making, earnings, and long-term trajectory.
  • Most people are taught how to land a job. Almost no one is taught how to grow once they are inside. That includes navigating performance, promotions, confidence, pressure, and long-term career decisions without burning out or stalling early.
  • RISEUP@work exists to fill that gap.
  • We are building a platform that provides clarity, structured guidance, coaching, and practical tools so that early career ambition turns into momentum rather than confusion or burnout.
  • We are currently raising funds to scale this work and build the platform with the community it is meant to serve: See our pitch deck here: https://wefunder.com/riseupatwork
