REF: Amanda Brinkmann
To whom it may concern,
Amanda is one of those rare shining gems with many unique and brilliant facets, who would
become an asset of immense value to any organization. I hope to have the opportunity to work
closely with her on any project in the near future.
Indeed, her unique skillset, combining experience across multiple high-level playing fields, with
a background ranging from successful entrepreneurship, corporate CEO positions, and strategic
government placements, mark her as a South African Super-Woman.
She is a person of action, integrity and insight, combining a laser-like focus with a compelling
sense of compassionate insight. Her avid learning and keen sense of what is needed by humanity
now have driven her to create societal models of support that could transform SA itself.
She always goes beyond the call of duty and remains willing to engage and where necessary
confront authority, or any obstructions standing in the way of improving the common lot of her
fellow citizens.

2. Our emerging Ubuntu Touch Enterprise Development Project, which now moves from strength
to strength, enjoys having been identified and fast-tracked through Amanda’s attentions as head
of Strategic Partnerships, at a time when it was struggling with the burdens of red tape.
Beyond politics, Amanda is a rainbow agent of change that South Africa would be blessed to
have more like. As the immediate and thorough activator that she is, any venture that has the
good fortune to have her on board would be rapidly improving its chances of success.
Sincerely,
Ian Macfarlane
