South AfricaGrowth Manager – Enterprise at Lesaka Technologies
About
I've built enterprise growth across Lesaka Technologies, EasyPay, Kazang and Prism, managing client retention, renewals, contracts and commercial development in complex payments environments.
As Product Head for Prepaid Utilities, I led a portfolio spanning electricity, airtime, data, vouchers and bill payments. I worked with retail, banking and distribution partners while managing product performance, customer requirements and high-volume transaction environments.
I bridge commercial, customer and technical teams around APIs, integrations, platform dependencies, product requirements and delivery. My work brings together engineering, finance, operations, reconciliation and legal teams to move opportunities forward.
Across enterprise accounts, partnerships, product and business development, I build productive relationships and identify practical paths to growth. I'm comfortable navigating interconnected ecosystems where customer, partner, platform and commercial interests must all work together.
