ABOUT US

Who's Tony?

Tony was born in South Africa and spent his childhood years in Mozambique and Pretoria, where he matriculated in 1978. Having an interest in people, he decided to study Law at the Universities of Pretoria and UNISA.

His natural abilities in solution driven communication, led to opportunities in diplomacy and he later joined the diplomatic corps. He spent over 14 years abroad in several countries including Brazil, Angola, Portugal, Spain and Mozambique where he gained valuable experience as a career diplomat and more specifically as an advisor on a variety of important issues in most Portuguese speaking countries.

In 1998 he established the TFC Consulting Agency and for over 18 years assisted hundreds of foreign investors to successfully set up their businesses in Mozambique. He also managed a successful corporate guesthouse business in Mozambique for several years. In addition thereto, he was the country manager for a major mechanical engineering company for over 3 years. During this time, he oversaw the construction of 3 petroleum storage facilities and similar projects in excess of US $110 million in value.

Tony’s professional journey was guided by his passion for people and business, while his success can be attributed to his ability to find solutions where others are blinded by problems.
