Kim Meredith Profile
Kim Meredith is an internationally acclaimed lecturer, sales strategist, negotiator and dealmaker. Kim is Chief Executive Officer of the globally represented The Dealmaker Company based in South Africa. She has worked with blue chip companies on every continent (except Antarctica) for nearly 20 years.
Having held executive positions in business since the late 1980s, Kim’s last corporate position was with a top Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed information technology group, where she spent four years on the main board as Executive Director of Strategy. During this time, she was responsible for international strategy including actively driving negotiations for key mergers, acquisitions and disposals.
Kim holds a BA degree in Clinical Psychology and English, but insists that she would make a terrible therapist. She expects people to take charge of their lives and not be cry-babies when things don’t go according to plan – which is most the time, if her life is anything to go by.
Kim’s passion for business has resulted in her being selected for many prestigious awards, including:
- Finalist Businesswoman of the Year (South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry); 2010
- Winner 1st For Women Business Icon and Entrepreneur (Feather Awards); 2011
- Finalist Most Influential Women in Business and Government (CEO Magazine); 2013.
Kim is an enthusiastic traveller, whether to the wilderness, or the great cities, or the wonders of the world. As a vegetarian, though, eating in interesting places can present a challenge, so she compensates for this with champagne, red wine, margaritas and chocolate. She claims to have tasted some of the world’s worst wines.
