Neil’s international business development experience and extensive knowledge of African and emerging markets has led to his management of projects in Botswana, Mauritius, Namibia and Zambia. He has also consulted on projects in Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia and successfully developed new market opportunities in Pakistan, Central and Eastern Europe. Neil has studied commerce, credit management, marketing and law and has held various senior sales, marketing and operations management positions.

Leonard, CEO: PIC Solutions International, adds, “The fast emerging West Africa market has created a number of opportunities for PIC Solutions to grow not only our own business, but also offer services which will greatly improve our clients’ business.
