KEVIN FLEISCHER (Consigliere)

Kevin’s career has mixed art and business, not always in the same proportions. Since winning the South African English Olympiad in 1980, he spent the next 20 years primarily focused on business. He has a BA Economics from the University of the Witwatersrand and a Masters in Management from Oxford. He worked in Corporate Finance in New York and London, before returning to South Africa in 1993. Since then (in terms of business) he has been involved in media, telecommunications, IT and venture capital. At the same time, he helped manage two TV production companies (Newsforce and what is now ‘Bomb’), co-produced an Emmy-nominated film in the USA (Silent Tears, 2002), was consulting producer for the reality series ‘10111’ (SABC 1996) and for ‘Jacob’s Cross’ (MNet 2007). More recently, he held is first solo photographic exhibition (Gordart Gallery, 2008). When he grows up, he wants to be a writer.
