Marc Ashton, is a well known former South African financial journalist.

Marc is also my buddy, although I haven't seen him since we left primary school 32 years ago!

He served as editor and managing director of a JSE-listed media company, honing his expertise in financial reporting and analysis.

Marc has a sharp mind. He sees the opportunity that exists in South Africa and is optimistic that we can get back to where we should be on the world stage.

We had a great chat, which was an awesome blend of buddies just catching up and trying to solve the world's problems ;)
