The Growth Podcast | Episode: Robyn de Villiers on Cross-Cultural Competence and Doing Business Across Borders
When South African capability meets American partnership, success often depends on how well people understand one another. In this episode of Growth, we speak with Robyn de Villiers, Founder and CEO of The Three Cs, Founder of Burson Africa, and Vice-President of the American Chamber of Commerce in South Africa.
Robyn spent more than 30 years in public relations and corporate communication across Africa and globally. Her work covered reputation management, crisis and issues management, public affairs and investor relations. Today she is an executive coach, a collaboration facilitator and one of only five certified Culture Map© consultants in the world. She helps leaders build cultural competence and practise inclusive leadership when working across borders.
Robyn shares what she has learned about turning diversity into a business advantage, communicating with trust in a changing geopolitical and policy environment, and building the relationships that unlock investment, jobs and long-term growth. As a Board and Advisory Council member of AmCham SA, she also reflects on the Chamber’s role as a trusted, non-partisan bridge between business and government as it nears 50 years of supporting U.S.-South Africa business relations.
Robyn is also a faculty member of the Thirty Percent Club’s Board Masterclass Series, an Advisory Council member of the National Business Initiative, and co-founder and current Chairperson of the UNICEF CEO Network.
