#11 Podcast with Funeka Montjane

Holding the space

Holding the space

For our 11th episode we are interviewing the Chief Executive, Personal and Business Banking, South Africa at the Standard Bank Group.

I don't have to say more. Funeka is a titan in South African business. She is making not only an impact in banking but also changing South Africa.

For me personally this is a highlight show and will stay with me for a while to come. As one of my friends in New Zealand said: "Listening to this I was deeply moved".
