ABOUT ME
Where it all began
Maria Varkevisser
“I am deeply passionate about entrepreneurship and the dynamic landscape of business. Continuously exploring emerging trends, refining strategies, and navigating the journey from inception to profitability fills me with excitement and gratitude. I thrive on the challenges and rewards of building a successful venture, from overcoming initial obstacles to achieving sustainable growth.”
“My time in the South African business landscape coincided with the dawn of the mobile industry, presenting me with invaluable opportunities to develop and refine my business skills, gain hands-on experience, and expand my knowledge. As the cellular market rapidly evolved, I was able to grow alongside it, continually adapting and innovating to stay ahead in this dynamic sector.”
