Abdul Qadir Soondka is passionate about digital innovation and the possibilities the field holds for South Africa’s future. He works as an analyst at Cadena Growth Partners, where he specialises in digital ledger technologies. This covers strategy and solution development, financial modelling and stakeholder engagements. Soondka and his team develop roadmaps, strategies and programmes for their clients to help them navigate and reach goals.
“Working in digital innovation has allowed me to see so much potential in our beloved country, but it is on us to activate that potential,” he said. Soondka dreams of activating South Africa’s potential to be a global leader in innovation, technology and economics. His inspiration comes from a promise made to a past school teacher that he would stop wasting his potential and try his hardest in everything he does. Soondka hopes that he will have the same impact on another young person through his work.
I wake up every morning trying to improve on the person I was the day before.
