Renette Human

Hi! I am Renette, a communications expert with more than 20 years’ experience in publishing and corporate communications. I also have agency experience from my time spent in the UK, where my clients included Shell, Amazon and Nike. I am currently the head of corporate communications at the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants. I’ve been managing teams since 2007, but my core passion for the written word remains. I believe my best skills are managing diverse teams, as well as strategic communication planning, internal communications, reputation management and crisis communications. After all these years, I still enjoy writing, proofreading and editing. 

I am now in my 40s and have never felt more ready for a new challenge!
