ABOUT COLETTE SYMANOWITZ

Hi there, I’m Colette Symanowitz. I run BeatingBullies.com and www.MBAconnect.net . I’m passionate about entrepreneurship, education, MBA-related issues, angel financing, networking, personal branding and technology.

I come from a project management and sales background spanning close to 10 years in the pharmaceutical and clinical research industries. I completed my BSc Honours in Pharmacology at Wits University, and then followed this up with a PDBA and MBA from GIBS, Johannesburg, one of the leading business schools in South Africa.

I have always been passionate about sharing knowledge and helping others get access to positive opportunities, so during the MBA took on the role of class knowledge-manager. Towards the end of the degree, I was approached by my MBA peers to start a community in order to keep the MBA network together after graduation. This was the seed that led to www.MBAconnect.net (more info below).

We’ve also recently started BeatingBullies.com, an innovative online tool to stop bullying in schools (more info below).

I’m an open networker. Connect with me at the following contacts:

ABOUT BEATINGBULLIES.COM

Almost 50% of kids are bullied at school and the impact can be devastating. However, most bullying goes unreported. Why? Because face-to-face conversations are difficult and embarrassing, and kids are afraid the bully will find out that they’ve told someone.

Introducing BeatingBullies.com, a ground-breaking online tool to stop bullying in schools. How? By allowing kids to report bullying anonymously, to upload evidence, and to interact safely and anonymously with authority figures such as principals.
