About Jeetesh Kathawaroo
Jeetesh Kathawaroo helps organisations close the gap between strategy and results. As the Founder & MD of Echo Advisory (Johannesburg/Sandton), he leads practices in strategy implementation, client growth and talent. His current work spans keynotes on execution, hands‑on business development workshops for professional services, and advisory on aligning operations, culture and technology to strategic objectives. Earlier he blended management consulting with humour on stage, earning invitations like the UK’s decibel Showcase to speak on the crossover between corporate performance and the performing arts. Degrees include BCom, BCom (Hons) and MPhil (Corporate Strategy).
