CEO, SPARK Schools
Stacey Brewer believes that improving the state and esteem of education in South Africa will guarantee the global success of this country and create a prosperous future for all South Africans.
After completing her Bachelor of Science at Rhodes University, Stacey won a scholarship for the entrepreneurship MBA programme at the Gordon Institute of Business Science.
