  • Résumé

  • In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king Welcome to The One-Eyed Man with Mike Stopforth It's a messy, complicated world out there. We need better solutions to the problems around us, and better leaders to them. No one person has it all figured out, but in a quest to discover a more impactful brand of leadership, I'm having conversations with people who have at least some part of it figured out, and specifically in the fields of business, entrepreneurship, impact and technology.

    Oct 31 2024
    Old Mutual is the headline sponsor of this year’s edition of the SingularityU South Africa Summit. In this three-part series, I speak with some of OML's most interesting movers and shakers, understanding how they are moving the needle at the intersection of leadership, technology and impact.

    My guest on part 2 of the series is Nobesuthu Ndlovu, the director of SMEs at Old Mutual. Suthu is an intuitive and seasoned executive and entrepreneur with vast strategic and operational experience in the finance and retail sectors. Young and
    highly energetic, Nobesuthu also possesses intrinsic wisdom that she garnered when she astutely nurtured her business, Burgundy Fly, from its challenging bootstrap start-up phase right through to when it became a flourishing entity that generated a R31million turnover in the space of a decade.

    We talk about the start-up and SME ecosystem in SA and how, under Suthu's guidance, OML has curated a one-stop turnkey solution for start-ups that need administrative support and access to the kind of network and distribution that only an organisation of Old Mutual's scale can offer.
