PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: WE ARE HERE TO ROCK 2024.
In 2023 we learnt a lot of lessons, they have made us smarter, stronger and wiser. So, in 2024, we’ve got our sights set upward. We’re on the launchpad and ready to reach the stars and beyond. We’re more determined than ever before to reshape the way we live and interact with technology.
“This year is all about understanding that connection and strength are interlinked. Like any skill, through practised and learned connection, we achieve calm ingenuity during our biggest and most important moments. Make the effort to connect, make the effort to uplift and let’s see how we can change the world.” — Platform45 Founder and CEO, Shaun Richards.
In order to kick of this year off, we thought we would look back on some of our favourite highlights from 2023:
🎂We turned 15! Which means we’re old enough to know better, but young enough to still have fun! To our team, our partners and our clients, thank you for your passion, dedication and support. Your trust in us has allowed us to push the limits of what’s possible and craft solutions that have made a difference.
🇿🇦 Engaging in local discussions, we actively contributed to the dialogue on facilitating international opportunities for South African talent through technology, aimed at mitigating the issue of #BrainDrain.
Teaming up with Simonetta Giuricich, COO of Playroll, and Nontobeko Gumede, the host of Business Day TV, we discussed our collective commitment to ensuring that our top talent encounter extraordinary opportunities, without the hindrance of geographical barriers.
We’re looking forward to exploring these opportunities for our homegrown talent on the international stage this year.
🌎 We contributed to a global executive masterclass about the intricate process of assembling and nurturing global teams and the opportunities that lie at the intersection of people and technology.
Our commitment stands strong in 2024, to navigate and excel in this evolving landscape, contributing to the global dialogue on effective team dynamics as we continue to expand and grow.
🏅We stood proudly alongside our partners at Float as they earned multiple nominations for their outstanding contribution to revolutionising the South African financial landscape with a #BNPL model that truly allows shoppers to use their credit in the smartest way possible.
From the Top 5 at The Visa Everywhere Initiative to making it to the finals of The StartUp Club Awards, we’re so excited to see how they continue to shift the fintech needle in 2024.
🎉Kena Health clinched, not just one, but two prestigious awards at the MTN App of the Year Awards, winning both Best Health Solution App for 2023 and the MTN Business App of the Year Award!
