“The source that feeds innovation and creativity is different perspectives, a different view of the world. Now, more than ever, you need to connect with those who are different, those who challenge and those who make you uncomfortable. We can no longer afford to surround ourselves with people who think, look like and experience the world like you. For the sake of innovation and creativity, for the sake of ideas that can change the world.”

Nicci is passionate about connecting people and sharing stories that give people insight into the South African entrepreneurial context and way of life.

She also consults to institutions across Africa for the development of entrepreneurial eco-systems. Her primary objective is to create corridors between South Africa, Africa and Europe for the benefit of all entrepreneurs.
