I'm a programme and product leader with 27+ years in payments, digital transformation and business systems, working at Standard Bank, FNB and ETG and in retail. As founder of Forty Five 6, I help organisations adopt AI in ways that last.
Case studies from Standard Bank and ETG, plus anonymised client work. Click through for the full write-ups on GitHub.
Pilot-led rollout that embedded Jira, Confluence and Scrum in a pan-African retailer's enterprise teams, with a clear path to BAU.
Solution design that connects CRM, portal, BI, documents and identity through an iPaaS and API gateway with a canonical data model.
Moved Corporate & Global Markets onto a cloud SaaS platform, led the client data migration, and closed revenue leakage through enhanced billing.
Took operations from paper to digital, and built an ESG app whose data reaches Hugo Boss, LVMH Group and other global fashion brands. It also drove regenerative farming and opened a farmer–producer marketplace.
Business analysis across trade services and customer account portfolio management, connecting front office, operations and IT.
Brand identity and a multi-sided prototype linking EV drivers, fleets, installers and dealers. We take care of the charging.
Helping business owners understand AI, find and integrate use cases, build a strategy and measure the return.
Free templates: stage gates, MoSCoW, PASO executive summaries, RACI, and a Kanban → Scrum guide.
Where I add the most value.
The product design, branding and AI adoption studio I founded.
From discovery to usable, well-built digital products.
Identity systems, logo suites and brand assets that hold together.
Finding practical use cases, enabling teams and managing the change so AI actually gets used.
I'm open to senior programme and product leadership roles, and to AI-adoption engagements.
