Dr McLean Sibanda is an accomplished C-suite executive, patent attorney, engineer and internationally respected innovation and intellectual property promoter with a 25-year career in engineering, infrastructure, intellectual property, innovation, entrepreneurship, and related fields. He is an avid believer that entrepreneurship is about building the future, and his humble beginnings provided a sound foundation for his passion for entrepreneurship. In his pre-teen years, he sold vegetables that his grandparents grew and helped his enterprising mother with merchandising clothing. At high school, he ran a sandwich and hair cutting businesses, whilst at university he established and ran a successful tennis coaching practice that paid him more than his first salary as an engineer. He did multi-level marketing and rented out property partly financed by banks, to young professionals, and has invested in and supported a number of start-ups. Together with Anthony Van Zantwijk, he co-founded boutique law firm Sibanda & Zantwijk (where he was a Partner until 2018) as well as the intellectual property consulting company Intangible Consulting t\/a Ideanav (www.ideanav.co.za<\/a>).<\/p>\n
