About me
As an experienced financial adviser with a demonstrated history of working in the financial services industry since 1998, I offer Sanlam financial solutions tailored to the needs of clients in the Southern Cape. Together at Complectus Wealth BlueStar, authorised by Sanlam, we aim to build long-term relationships with our clients and provide continuity by offering the services of a number of specialist financial planners, rather than the advice of just one adviser.
