Building on the proud legacy of the KZN Top Business Portfolio, which reaches its 25th edition in 2024, the KZN Top Business Leaders Portfolio celebrates KwaZulu-Natal’s thriving business community. This commemorative coffee table book honours the extraordinary achievements and inspiring journeys of some of the region’s most influential leaders.
After reviewing the remarkable stories of the companies featured over the years in the Portfolio, one thing became clear – the common thread driving these success stories is effective leadership. The KZN Leaders Portfolio takes readers deeper into the lives of these trailblazing business figures, revealing the passion and purpose that fuel their impact.
Grant Adlam, CEO of KZN Top Business, shared his excitement about this new venture: “The vision behind this collection is to inspire others to pursue success by sharing these stories.” Each leader featured brings a wealth of expertise, insight, and resilience, with their journeys of overcoming challenges and embracing innovation offering both motivation and practical lessons. The KZN Top Business Leaders Portfolio is more than a book; it’s a testament to KwaZulu-Natal’s vibrant business landscape and the visionaries driving it forward.
What truly sets these leaders apart is their shared commitment to a purpose that extends far beyond their professional roles. They are driven to make a positive difference, not only within their industries but also in the broader community impacted by their businesses.
The book offers an engaging multimedia experience, with each leader’s story brought to life through Zoom interviews available on the KZN Top Business YouTube channel.
Among the distinguished business leaders featured are:
Russell Curtis, HOD, Invest Durban
Prasheen Maharaj, CEO, Sandock Austral Shipyards
Bongi Mkhize, CEO, KwaZulu-Natal Joint Municipal Pension Fund
Chris Tyson, CEO, Tyson Properties
Shamla Pather, Attorney, Shamla Pather Attorneys
Palesa Phili, CEO, Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry
KZN Top Business is thrilled to collaborate with Ashok Sewnarain, chairman of IBV International Vaults Group, a global leader in exclusive vault services, for the launch of this publication. The release of the Leaders Portfolio coincides with the unveiling of IBV Privé, a sophisticated new space that raises the bar for luxury and exclusivity.
Ashok Sewnarain commented, “We are delighted to be partnering with KZN Top Business for the launch of the KZN Top Business Leaders Portfolio. We have found that there is substantial demand for facilities such as the IBV Privé where accomplished individuals can connect with one another while enjoying experiences that epitomise luxury.”
Sewnarain elaborated that the IBV Privé forms part of the IBV Wealth Club, which is designed discerning individuals who have achieved significant financial success.
As part of the IBV group, which encompasses IBV International Vaults and IBV Gold, the Wealth Club is built on a foundation of security, prosperity, and trust, offering members not just a lifestyle but an elevated experience that seamlessly combines luxury with strategic wealth-building.
“At IBV Wealth, we are redefining what it means to live a life of luxury and wealth. Our members are not just clients; they are part of an exclusive family that values security, growth, indulgence, and connection,” Sewnarain added. The limited edition coffee table book will be available as an eBook in early December.
