Thabiso Ndala

Broker Service Agent, Head Office (Sales & Marketing), Johannesburg, South Africa

Why Zurich?

"I was sponsored by Zurich through my schooling, on completion they offered me an opportunity to come and work for them".

• Born in Soweto, South Africa; speaks Sesotho, English, Setswana, Zulu, and some Afrikaans; enjoys working out at gym, reading books, playing basketball and soccer.
• Started working as a Junior Underwriter for SA Eagle.
• Since joining Zurich in 1998: moved to the CPU as Policy Administration Technician when the company moved to the new structure in 2001; was promoted to Team Leader and two years later, moved up to the Sales and Marketing Department to start a new career as a Broker Service Agent.

Why I'm still here?

"I believe there are good career opportunities opening up for me as a young person; these opportunities are further enhanced by the recent re-branding of our division from SA Eagle to Zurich".

Bottom line

"If I were interviewing you, I'd look for someone who's driven and willing to put in the elbow grease to see their efforts taking them to better places. I expect colleagues to be positive and I won't be pulled into being negative. I expect people to be here to help the company reach the heights it aspires to and be willing to represent Zurich's brand to its customers".
