Marc is at heart inspired by possibility, most alive when putting his energies into work that contributes to societies thriving. He sees a direct line from his work in business financial literacy to building a much-needed entrepreneurial class across Africa.

Through his ability to distil things down to their core, he makes finance simple for non-financial people.

He only managed to spend the first 10 years of his working life in the corporate world. He did his MBA in 1997 at UCT, whereafter the autonomy and freedom of self-employment and entrepreneurship summonsed him. In 2012 he came across a business financial literacy training opportunity, and at this relatively late stage of life discovered his gift and passion for teaching.

Since then Marc has run in-person business financial literacy workshops in South Africa, Ghana, South Sudan, India, Rwanda, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Tanzania, and his inner explorer looks forward to training in every African country.

Giving back time is part of his business philosophy and he welcomes Entrepreneurs  booking calls with him, to talk about finance, or whatever’s on their minds.

He relishes public speaking, loves motorbikes and travelling, and as his legacy aims to create a “Venture Factory” to carry forward his spirit of innovation, that helps build a better world.
