The introduction to Vannie Pillay and Oaktree People has been a game changer for our KGB Group of Companies. As the CEO of the Group, with me Vannie has personally co-created and walked the path to implementation of key activities in a short space of time. It is not often that we come across professionals and companies that over deliver on what they say they will. Vannie and Oaktree encompass strengths of board and organisational structuring, business strategy and operational excellence to name a few. I have not doubt that any organisation that’s chooses to work with Vannie Pillay will be serviced with value and excellence.

Vannie services include complex diagnostic work, leadership development, OD, and organizational transformation. I recently contracted Vannie and team to assist one of our JVs at Famous Brands with some complex leadership, cultural and values challenges, and she did an excellent job. Her professional approach, diagnostic, and recommendations were very helpful in addressing the challenges that have been simmering for a while. I recommend her for any consulting work to do with OD, Values, Culture, Leadership and Transformation.
