Our team
Carine Kruger, Managing Director
Carine is passionate about, and has been involved with entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship for a long time. Her researches focus on innovative business processes resulting in fewer environmental footprints and meaningful social contributions.
Carine holds an Executive MBA from the Ashcroft International business school of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge UK, where she was awarded the Greenwood memorial prize for best strategy in practice. She also has an artistic academic background from the University of Nice, France. She speaks fluent French and English and has lived and accumulated work experiences in the USA, France, the UK and South Africa.
In 2006, she held the position of Chief Operating Officer of the team Innoflate who won a major business award for their groundbreaking idea and was given the title of Innovator of the year by Deloitte and i10.
Prior to managing Bprosper, Carine was delivering university lectures in her role of Managing Director of CMN Small Business Consulting, to final year students of Business Administration at the CTI campus of Bellville in South Africa. Before moving to Cape Town, she was the European marketing manager for the US company, SavaJe Technologies, an 120 million dollars funded company with offices at the famous St Johns Innovation Centre of Cambridge UK.
Andre Kruger, Head of Operations & Finance
Andre Kruger is our local talent, a glorified "Bean Counter" by definition. He completed his Bachelors of Commerce in Commercial Accounting at the prestigous University of Stellenbosch (2003); set in the heart of the Western Cape Wine lands.
"Entrepreneurs are the seeds to economic growth and should be at the top of the South African agenda, on a large scale it encompasses personal fulfillment and contributes to the alleviation of poverty and enriches our culture...And we are ready to help them."
His financial and managerial prowess were crafted in the picturesque village of Cambridge, England, where he meticulously unravelled the skills required to manage a successful business. His forte include internet based businesses, web technologies, financial analysis, process improvements and expansion initiatives. His term at Priceline Europe, an extension of the US parent company Priceline.com (NASDAQ:PCLN), introduced our unconventional "Afrikaner" to the organisational dynamics and behaviours of a multinational Corporation.
He ended his awe-inspired fact finding mission and returned married to his beloved country Cape Town, South Africa (2007). Where he found himself in the telecommunications industry, managing a local SME, 2talk2 Airtime Solutions.
His analytical and technical know-how combined with his passion to develop his community, provides him with the compassion and entrepreneurial flair our society seeks.
Charles Cuny-Crigny, Senior Consultant
Charles completed his MBA at Anglia Ruskin Business School, Cambridge UK, in November 2007. His dissertation concerned the analysis of critical success factors in the development of the Cambridge hi-tech cluster. He has ever since been passionate and committed to the field of entrepreneurship and innovation.
Charles has built up significant management expertise in retail and communication, especially in the fashion industry, for which he worked 8 years in different organisations in Cannes, Monte-Carlo and Paris. As a global mind, he has travelled to many countries across Europe, the Middle-East, and lived one year in New York, before moving to the UK and later to South Africa. He is a member of the Chartered Institute of Management.
Charles is the official goodwill Ambassador for the Chartered Management Institute in South Africa, the only chartered professional body that is dedicated to management and leadership.
In Cambridge, he has been involved in a number of initiatives linking the local business community and the University, such as the Anglia Fast Forward student enterprise network of which he was the chairman in 2006/2007. During the three years he has stayed in the UK, Charles also worked at the well known St. John's Innovation Centre, as the office manager and finance administrator of Light Blue Optics Ltd, one of the very successful and dynamic companies in the Cambridge hi-tech cluster.
Before joining Bprosper as a Senior Consultant, Charles worked for RBM Research Agency Limited, and Ashcroft International Business School based at Anglia Ruskin University Cambridge, as a marketing consultant in projects funded by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) involving local SME's.
