PURPOSE-LIVED, Dr Riedwaan Kimmie in conversation with TSIBA Co-Founder and Chairperson Gia Whitehead.

April 28, 2022 • TSIBA Business School • Season 1 • Episode 7

From a mining-town childhood before decades spent in the education of young people, Rudi has learned that actually, unlocking the potential of the real diamonds in the world- people - is the answer. To get there, and to do great things we need to be a little bit crazy, unclutter our minds when we can and ask how we make every day count when all we have is 86400 seconds in each one. Living consciously and mindfully permeates through this beautiful purpose-lived conversation.

Dr Riedwaan (Rudi) Kimmie is the Chief Executive Officer of TSIBA Business School.

Rudi holds a PhD in Leadership Studies from the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

Following over two decades of experience at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) prior to joining TSIBA Dr Kimmie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in teaching and academic development.

With seats on multiple other boards including Durban Green Corridors, Iqraa Trust, Education Solutions, Datachem and the TSIBA Ignition Academy, Dr Kimmie drives a passion for forging impactful partnerships between academia and business, both locally and internationally.
