Where business experience meets purpose-driven impact

I’m Lorette — a hospitality executive, business professional, and fundraiser with over 20 years of experience leading people, growing businesses, and creating meaningful change. I help organisations thrive while using my skills to advocate for those who need it most.

What I Do

I work at the intersection of leadership, service excellence, and social impact.

• Hospitality & Operations Leadership
  Strategic, hands-on management with a strong focus on guest experience, profitability, and team development.
• Business & Relationship Development
  Decades of experience in sales, marketing, and client engagement across multiple industries.
• Fundraising & Community Impact
  Driving awareness, partnerships, and financial support for children with severe medical and physical disabilities.

My Journey

My career spans hospitality management, lodge ownership, automotive and solutions sales, and business administration. Most recently, I served as General Manager of St Helena Bay Hotel, overseeing a multi-faceted hospitality operation including accommodation, restaurants, events, and conferencing.

Alongside my professional work, my heart lies in fundraising for Die Eilandhuis, a specialised care home for profoundly disabled children. Through events, corporate partnerships, and community initiatives, I work to ensure these children receive the care, dignity, and support they deserve.

Why I Do It

I believe true success is measured not only by profitability, but by impact.
Whether it’s creating an unforgettable guest experience, mentoring staff, or raising funds for vulnerable children, my goal is always the same:
to go the extra mile and make a real difference.
