Marlaine Pretorius
“If each of us were to believe in the core idea that our workplaces could become the central space for the cultivation of the wisdom our planet needs to survive, we could create powerful new possibilities for what our working lives would look and feel like into the future.”
About me
With over 25 years’ senior and executive experience across multiple industries in Sub-Saharan Africa and the British Isles, I bring deep corporate wisdom. Yet I hold that in today’s complexity, how we inhabit the present and lean into the emergent future matters much more than experience alone.
I describe my work as accompaniment: partnering with people who are evolving humanity alongside technology. My focus is on helping people build, deepen and restore relationships, beginning with the most essential one, the relationship with ourselves.
I’m drawn to working with people who realise the status quo is not an option, those who embrace the idea that we must let go of parts of who we are, and develop new ways of seeing, being and contributing. I love challenging conversations, poetry, dancing and being in nature.
Founding, non-executive director of Oxpeckers Investigative Environmental Journalism.
