Desi Rosenfield

At that time she already enjoyed an exceptional reputation as one of Deloitte & Touche's upcoming young consultants while working with their Strategy Group in Johannesburg. This position exposed her to the country's leading strategy experts, who pioneered South Africa's advanced methods of business strategy. Desi assisted renowned consultants Anthony Ball and Stephen Asbury by providing research for their bestselling book, The Winning Way.

She was subsequently sought out to head the Economics Department at a large financial institution where she rose to the position of Chief Strategic Planner and Economic Advisor to the CEO and his executive committee. She also interacted at senior government levels dealing with critical issues relating to the impact of HIV and AIDS on the country.

In 1993, she joined Lapin International (then known as Strategic Business Ethics) as Vice President to further propagate Lapin International’s unique philosophies and powerful solutions among both the public and private sectors.
