About The Founder

Oelzah is the CEO of Figure Eight Network Solutions. She is a highly experienced organisational consultant, executive coach, and leadership strategist with nearly two decades of experience across some of South Africa's most complex people and business environments. She brings a systems-thinking lens to the work - identifying the real challenges beneath the presenting ones, and  co-creating solutions that are both rigorous and human.

Her career spans Leadership Development, Organisational Development, Talent and Performance Management, Culture, Learning and Development, Corporate Wellbeing, Employee Engagement, and Retention Strategies.

 

She is also a board member, trustee, wife, mother, dancer, and writer who knows first-hand what it means to thrive in the intensity and complexity of holding multiple roles. Across local and international corporate spaces, she has helped develop leaders and grow organisations.

What she brings formally:

A Master’s degree in Leadership, Performance and Change, an Honours degree in Human Resource Development, coaching qualifications from Coaching Development (UK) and The Coaching Centre Africa (both ICF aligned programmes). She is registered with COMENSA, and certified as an Enneagram facilitator, FIVE Lens practitioner and Bio-Mastery enabler. In addition, Oelzah is trained in Transactional Analysis, Design Thinking, Change Management, Project Management and Process Re-engineering.
