Hi, I am Charmaine

I think in patterns. I work in systems. Sometimes I move fast, other times I investigate deeply... because I can feel it when something is right and when it's off, it’s how I’m wired. This is a highlight of my journey and how I work.I also have a blog where I share my thoughts from time-to-time, click the button below if you want to indulge.

New Ways of Business

01: I See the Whole System

I Don’t Just Solve Problems. I Build the System That Prevents Them.

I’ve spent over a decade working across finance, business strategy, digital systems, and now AI. However, not as separate careers, but as one long training in building intelligent businesses.My strength is I think in layers. I see where the business will break before it does (but if the owner/ leaders doesn't trust my judgement the business breaks anyways). I don’t just patch issues, I create strategic systems that grow with you. Most people treat symptoms. I solve root-level problems for clarity and performance.

How I Work

A bit of context:

I know myself well, because I took the time to study myself deeply. It's important, so I can show up as my best self and know my boundaries well.

My core strength is strategic clarity. I don’t just spot what’s broken, I know how to fix it.
I process decisions through action, not theory. If something doesn’t feel right in execution, I change it. Quickly.
I’m designed to go deep, especially in complex systems where others feel overwhelmed. I actually feel more at ease when the stakes are high and the work is meaningful.
I’m both structured and creative, almost equally in logic and intuition. I’ll streamline your operations, then show you what the data actually means for your future.

02: Why My Systems Work

How I Think Shapes How I Build

My work isn’t just technical it is also intuitive. I design systems by seeing both the data and the people behind it.

My builds are backed by business logic, but guided by how real humans behave under pressure.
I understand how leaders make decisions, and how operations break down in SMEs and large corporate structures.
My brain is wired for both logic and creativity, which is why my systems don’t just “work,” they fit.

Entrepreneur Journey

I retired from corporate at the age of 25, a goal I set at 20, for a vision born at the age of 15 while working part-time jobs for SME owners.

2015 – Present | Financial Management Founded and ran a boutique financial management consultancy for schools in South Africa. I also launched my speaking career in China.
2016 - 2023 | Business Consulting Worked with SME founders in the U.S., Europe, and Australia to shape powerful founder-led brands; weaving their personal voice into the business, and translating it into marketing that actually moves. Along the way, I spoke at events and led brand coaching experiences.
2017 – 2023 | Digital Infrastructure & Marketing Systems. Built backend systems and content for branding and lead generation for SMEs across USA, Asia, Europe, UK and Australia.
2020 – 2024 | Business Transformation (SME focus). Helped founders fix what’s under the hood; from messy systems to missing growth structures. I built what they actually needed, not what was flashy.
2024 – Present | AI Transformation Created SME Partner AI to go deeper at scale; turning the right data into decisions, and building intelligent systems that move the business forward... Faster.

If you see the fit and you truly understand my genius, we can work together. If not, that’s okay. Working together will only frustrate both of us.

I’ve created a deeply original IP portfolio valued at over $3.5M. These are not hypotheticals, but fully operational systems, strategies, and frameworks that generate results.
