ABOUT FRANCOIS DU TOIT

In today’s competitive, global business environment, companies must be nimble to take advantage of opportunities and gain a competitive edge. However, I believe they also need leaders who understand the importance of long-range vision, to position the organization for sustainable success. I find it highly satisfying to play a part in this challenging activity—responding quickly to changes and making adjustments to ensure I obtain the intended outcome.Transformative leadership is a hallmark of my career. I thrive on opportunities to expand my expertise and capabilities—and to apply what I learn in ways that deliver maximum benefit to the organization I work for.I enjoy my work most when I can operate at a “local” level—that is, exert influence where I can make a noticeable improvement. It is almost impossible to boil the ocean! It takes immense effort, and the impact of one’s efforts is not measurable.While it might be true that people make their own luck in life, I have been fortunate to have met and worked with some amazing people over the years. Many of them have generously given me the opportunities and support I needed to achieve the success I have had.Throughout my management career, I not only became an expert in payment processing but also developed a multidimensional skillset. This enables me to work with equal comfort on tactical deliverables and executive-level strategic planning. In addition, I understand what it takes to improve customer satisfaction scores while ensuring that staff members stay engaged, providing them with career-growth potential, and achieving employee satisfaction metrics I can be proud of.
