  Deloitte Consulting

  May 2015 - Aug 2019

  Senior Consultant

  I was privileged to work as an experience designer at Deloitte Consulting. I had the opportunity to work with some incredibly smart people and large corporate clients in South Africa in the financial services sector, including insurance providers, investment managers, institutional investment managers and retail banks. I learned how following a Design Thinking approach in these domains can be powerful and help businesses grow, and more importantly, I learned about some of the pitfalls that leave the approach ineffective: not realising any true change in those businesses. I have seen that businesses that adopt a customer-centric focus, and understand that this usually means a cultural shift over time, will be outperformers. Show less
