Coronet Blockchain l Ethical Human hair supply chain solution

Meet the Founders

Hello & Welcome

Greetings & Salutations,

The story journey of Coronet Blockchain cannot be told without sharing our deep gratitude with our friends and associates across the world. Building Coronet took over 60 experts positioned across the salon industry, JSE-listed retail experts, Technology Practitioners, Consulting, Finance, Legal, Academia, Government and more, stationed across 10 countries. Each working faithfully to help achieve the heavy-lifting to produce Coronet and achieve The Africa we want. We are eternally indebted to them and the next generation to pay it forward. We raised 2 funding tranches during COVID hard lockdown. In the middle of the perfect storm: we were innovating. Our unwavering commitment is using Blockchain for social good in all we do. E.g. Enabling salons to secure trade finance, protecting stylists' jobs, removing counterfeits from the hair trade & more.

Here's to the Africa we want, here's to legacy!

Much Gratitude,

S&P

Hello I'm Shadrack

I am a born diplomat: born at the intercession of 3 provinces [states] that historically functioned like stand alone countries. This setting favourably exposed to multiple races and cultures from a young age. My experiences in business date back to my early age of 11 when my mom started multiple businesses, asking me to manage and grow them.

Later on, in corporate: my last role was with Deloitte, before co-founding Coronet. Among the highlights of my corporate track-record includes spearheading business development teams that moved a new venture from a zero-balance-sheet position to ZAR 5 billion within 3 years. A move that required a competitor in that space 13 years to achieve.

For me Blockchain is more about people & communities more than it is about technology, the tech functions simply enable the attainment of shared community values. I am for communities. I am for Africa. Perhaps that is why some people prefer to call me the Blockchain Baron of Africa.

Hello I'm Pretty

I am a born Solutionist: an early starter who began early, to push entrepreneurial boundaries, into what's possible. My early business experience dates back from the age of six when I worked in a family business with my late dad in wood cutting, supplying local businesses & households, whilst running a mechanic workshop that also trained village youth on apprenticeship skills that made them employable.

My track-record was further refined in Impact Investment Advisory, harnessed over a decade & a half horizon window. Across active projects experience in Government, FDI & equipping left-behind communities. I also spearheaded the calibration of a ZAR 29 billion social impact investment framework to create a blue-print social benefit system.

My Blockchain journey: to rethink Africa supply chains, was born out of this melting pot of incredible experiences & entrepreneurial excellence.
