Director: Development Facilitation, Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Cognisant of the complexity associated with the pursuit of a more sustainable and just world, I love this quote from Einstein because it goes to the heart of the need to not only do things differently, but also to do different things. I have more than 22 years of experience in Environmental Management and Planning of which 20 years have been as a public servant, with more than 14 years of manage experience of which 9 years have been as a senior manager.

In my position as Director Development Facilitation in the Western Cape Government's Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (Cape Town, South Africa) I am fortunate to be directly involved with efforts to ensure a more sustainable and just world.

Key research Interests: Resilience, Anti-fragility, Reflexive Governance, Transitional Management, Sustainability
