    Summary: I'm Alan Knott-Craig, an entrepreneur, author, and founder of fibertime™️. My mission is to connect everyone to the internet. I started life in Pretoria, before studying at Nelson Mandela University and becoming a chartered accountant with Deloitte in 2002. My entrepreneurial journey began in 2003 when I started Cellfind, a South African pioneer in mobile location-based services. From there, I served as CEO of iBurst, one of South Africa's most extensive wireless broadband networks, after which I started World of Avatar and acquired Mxit, Africa's largest social network. In 2013, I started an NGO, Project Isizwe, with a mission to bring free public WiFi to townships. In 2014, I founded HeroTel and, over the next 8 years, we expanded it into South Africa's largest rural broadband provider. After exiting HeroTel in 2022, I founded fibertime™️ to provide pay-as-you-go fiber internet to townships and try connect the next 3 billion people worldwide. My entrepreneurial career has seen me co-found and fund over 21 companies in various industries, including telecommunications and media. As an author, I've written ten books, including the national bestseller "Don't Panic," and a memoir called "Chasing the Internet: From Backyards to Boardrooms". I share my lessons and philosophy on entrepreneurship on my daily blog: www.alanknottcraig.com. Recognised as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum and consistently listed in the "Top 100 Choiseul Africa," my work has not only focused on building businesses but also facilitating a better future for Africa by connecting the unconnected. My interests extend beyond the boardroom to spending time with my family, walking, swimming, and studying history. I love history. As I continue to try new ways of accelerating digital access, I am committed to a fair and equitable society for all South Africans.

    Summary: 「どうせ一度きりの人生ならだれにも邪魔されずに思いっきり仕事がしたい」と思い、会社員を辞めて会社を買おうとしています。たくさんの趣味の中でもきっと仕事が一番好き。酒飲み、銭湯好き、食べるの大好き、美術館や博物館、音楽の催し、卓球が好きです。食べることが大好きで飲食店勤務を開始したものの、東日本大震災の最中ペーペーながら「採用候補者切り」の役割を仰せつかり、キャリアをストレッチさせる必要性を強く認識。「右肩上がりのベンチャー」と言うだけで研修会社に入ると、在籍10年弱のうちに未上場企業だったのがあれよあれよと言う間にプライム市場(当時東証1部)へ。自分と会社の成長の連動をもっと感じたいと思い、緩く感じるようになった職場から足抜け。当時すでにシングルマザーだったのに、よくもまあ、「残業上等」の会社に自ら移ったなと思います。そんな無鉄砲さが仇になったのか、経営者と喧嘩しそうになり、「これはいかん」と部下力を鍛えるために一般レイヤーでしか募集をかけていなかった株式会社識学へ。識学では情緒的、政治的な意味での部下力は一切身につきませんでした(必要とされなかった。良い職場だった)が、組織についてのロジックはしっかり身についたと自負しています。良い会社でした(2回言う)。最後の職場となったハッカズークの主戦場はアルムナイ。辞め方改革を旗印に市場として固まっていない分野で自由に働かせてもらい、転職でも企業でもない辞め方、まさに辞め方改革を体現した次第です。(そう言う意味じゃない)ビジネスキャリア:人事制度設計、人材開発の専門家。営業部長経験有、採用責任者経験有、WEBマーケ少々経験有プライベートキャリア:子育て中、シングルマザー
