Shahan Ramkissoon
co-founder, Feel South Africa
After a successful and reputable journalistic career spanning over 18 years and across three continents, Shahan Ramkissoon joined Eclipse Communications as Chief Strategy Officer, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and experience coupled with integrity and strategic thinking. Shahan has worked in New York, London and South Africa, where over the most recent years he became one of the most notable Prime-Time news anchors on eNCA, a trusted voice in news, known for his no-nonsense approach and hard-hitting interview style, particularly with politicians. With a Diploma in Journalism from Durban University of Technology, Shahan built up his journalistic experience at the likes of SABC News, Arise News in London and New York and eNCA. As Chief Strategy Officer at Eclipse Communications, he now plays a pivotal role in the direction of the agency, leading strategy for clients, working closely with the founders on group-wide initiatives and the development of an in-house media training division. Shahan hasn’t left the media spotlight though, you’ll now hear him on primedia radio stations and see him in adverts. His debut was in the recent hilarious Nando’s Bright Side campaign ad that poked fun at SA’s dreaded load-shedding.
