From Farming to Tech: Ronnie Baskind's Leadership Journey — with Ronnie Baskind
Ronnie Baskind’s leadership journey begins on a vast South African farm and culminates in Sydney, where he built Kilimanjaro Consulting into one of Australia’s top tech advisory firms. The common thread? A deceptively simple yet powerful skill: deep, ego-free listening.
In this episode, Ronnie delves into how the principles of “Ubuntu” and consultative leadership have shaped his approach to hiring, making tough decisions, and building lasting client trust.
