About this episode

"I would want to be remembered as someone who didn't 'give crumbs'... To quote from a poem - joy was not made to be a crumb!" – Anzelle Robertson, Programme Director at Mobile Ecosystem Forum (MEF).


In this engaging episode, Anzelle – an expert in Mobile Payments and Digital Content – recounts her unexpected start at a law firm specializing in road accident claims. Passionate about public speaking from childhood, she initially pursued law, but a new brief from her principle attorney brought telecom on her radar!


A national cricket champion, Anzelle is a 'Jill of all trades' with interests in a medley of areas that include surfing, mountain biking, golfing and playing the guitar! Also, a self-proclaimed 'raging introvert', Anzelle shares highlights from the road that led her from a bushveld farm in South Africa's rural North-West Province, via the continent's richest square mile in Johannesburg, with stops at skateparks and cricket fields, New York's Broadway, being airlifted from Mobile World Congress Barcelona and running laps around the Emirates all the way to The Hague in Netherlands!
