Alana is a serial entrepreneur who started her first business in high school. After completing her Business Science degree with Honours in Finance from the University of Cape Town, she spent several years in management consulting with Accenture.
In 2012 Alana started her own consultancy to focus on impact, and has gained over 20 years of consulting experience in strategy, B-BBEE, economic development and social enterprise. After several years of exposure to youth development, she co-founded Lucha Lunako to focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of youth unemployability.
Alana’s focus is to strategically lead Lucha Lunako, build solutions for scale, grow partnerships and oversee all things financial.
I’m passionate about the incredible talent and potential of all South Africans, and want to contribute to solutions which give all young people the opportunity to build futures for themselves.
