The Executive Team
We understand that while each team member is an individual, successful team members work together as a single entity focused on a shared objective. We ensure that strategic roles are filled by people who not only have the right experience but also have the right characteristics and tools.
Tebogo Khaas
Founder & Global Chief Entrepreneur
After decades of championing small business development and helping improve the SME ecosystem, Khaas identified the need to professionalise entrepreneurship as a crucial element to overcoming most of the impediments against impactful, enduring SME development.
Fostering ethical entrepreneurship is central to realising this ideal.
​
"Everyday entrepreneurs come to us for many reasons, but all are united by a decision to do a little bit more, a little bit better.
I’m here to support them, however I can. Empowering them is what we do,' says Khaas.

The road ahead
The primary goal for this year is to develop an organisational structure to support the IoCE’s mandate and launch the institute later in the year. Through defining roles, canvassing and repurposing resources, we will create a structure that can more effectively and more robustly address any issues that may arise.
The IoCE will:
-
Establish and provide a coordinated, strategic, and intentional direction for the institution;
-
Build institution-wide accountability measures; and
-
Create sustainable processes and support systems that build on, learn from, and execute its mandate.
The Institute of Chartered Entrepreneurs is led by an executive leadership team that consists of a Chief Executive (CE), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Chief Membership Officer (CMO).
