I was attracted by the fast pace and the opportunity to be part of a team that works on engagements that really matter and make an impact on the markets we operate in.
I am a valuation partner in the PwC offices in Johannesburg. We value businesses for transactions and financial reporting purposes.
I enjoy working with a diverse group of really talented people across the PwC network on technically challenging enagements, and continuously having the opportunity to learn
I've had a number of role models at various stages in my life and career. I have identified people who have values that I can identify with, who are successful at what they do and have attributes that I could learn from.
While you can expect to work hard as a Deals professional, know that hard work is recognised and rewarded.
Whether it's a co-worker, a client or a boss, earn their trust. Once you've earned someone's trust, new opportunities, support and co-operation will come your way.
Drive, a need to see things to completion and a strong support system in my personal and professional lives.
Becoming the first female Deals Partner in PwC South Africa was a huge accomplishment, both for me and my female colleagues. I think it went a long way to showing our team that hard work and commitment will be recognised.
In an environment traditionally dominated by men you have an opportunity to make a strong impression by introducing a more diverse view and unique perspectives.
