He represented Conshu on the South African Breweries human resources committee before joining Safic in 1997. He moved rapidly through the corporate ranks serving as operations director in 1998, managing director in 2000 and finally group managing director for Safic in 2003.

His vision for the organisation facilitated the strategic acquisition of Marley Flooring in 2004 and the consolidation of the various companies into Accéntuate Limited, which culminated in the listing on the AltX of the JSE in 2006. During this period he concluded a joint venture with India’s leading water company and has played an active role in the water sector. Fred has helped set up over 200 businesses to support and empower entrepreneurs.

He is the Chairman and a co-founder of the South African Water Chamber and Executive Chairman for Nexus Water Alchemy as well as Water Ledger Global. Fred serves on the board of several companies and charities. Following the tragic passing away of his son Sam, he co- founded the Footprints 4 Sam Trust, a charitable trust set up to improve the lives of children with chronic illness. He is also a speaker and is the author of Lessons From a Rainbow Unicorn, a book inspired by his son Sam who passed away in 2016 a few months after his first birthday.

Fred offers a distinctive approach to mentoring, leadership and strategy, drawing from firsthand experience in the very roles his clients are navigating. Rather than relying solely on theory or research, he provides practical, experience-based guidance that empowers individuals and teams to overcome challenges and grow with real-world insight.
