About Refilwe Belebesi:
Dear Sir/Madam
My name is Refilwe Belebesi. I have 20 years’ experience spanning across business banking, private banking, development financing, private equity, SME transaction advisory, investment packaging and capital raising.
I am experienced in leading investments through the entire investment cycle (origination, due diligence, execution, participating in investment committees, post-transaction portfolio management and value creation).
My professional goal is to complete a journey I had started by obtaining my professional qualification as a Chartered Accountant. Whilst pursuing this goal, I wish to build the requisite competency to demonstrate the ability to render, manage and oversee financial services at the highest level. Furthermore, I wish to improve my skills, knowledge, expertise and professional standards.
I am truly a valuable addition to a high-performance organization with aligned values.
Below I listed some of my professional accomplishments
- Co-establishing an award-winning corporate fund for South Africa’s largest food manufacturer
- Moved a previously underperforming business unit to top performing unit
- Managed a R300 million SME Debt Fund and fully disbursed over a four-year period
- Successfully led a highly-motivated investment team of 10 professionals to achieve targets
- Two members of an investment team I coached were awarded top-performers by CEO
- Promoted by CEO to serve as the Executive Head of the Investment unit
- Selected, participated and graduated in the inaugural Southern African Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (SAVCA) led fund manager development programme
- Awarded a scholarship for the development of a Financial Innovations for Emerging Economies.
Hope this letter and CV finds your favourable consideration.
