PANEL DISCUSSION: Crossing Contexts: Work, Culture, and Careers in African Markets
Join Us for a Candid Panel Discussion on Working Across African Markets. As part of the CEMS MiM programme, this panel brings together internationally mobile professionals to share honest, practical reflections on building careers across African markets — including South Africa.
Event information
Designed especially for visiting and globally minded students, the conversation will explore workplace culture, professional expectations, and career pathways in context. Rather than broad generalisations about “Africa,” our speakers will share grounded, personal experiences — what motivated them to move, the contrasts they encountered, how trust and credibility are built, and what they wish they had known at the start.
Panelists:
Silvère Mantz – Innovation Consultant; CEMS MiM alum
Marieke Gertz – Private Equity Investor, Amethis; CEMS MiM alum
Patrik Schiller – Operations Lead, eKomi; UCT GSB MBA alum
Domien Agten – Consultant, Futureworld
Chaired by: Luke Andrews
An insightful session for anyone considering working across borders and navigating diverse professional environments.
