To Whom it May Concern RAZIA VAN DER SCHUUR It’s my pleasure to recommend Razia van der Schuur as a consultant in the fields of digital publishing, digital business strategy (including social media marketing) and IT project management. Razia worked with me at one of South Africa’s largest media companies, Times Media (Pty) Ltd, for several years, and during that time I got to know her superb problem-solving abilities, robust spirit of enterprise and deep commitment to team projects. Most recently, Razia managed the implementation of digital strategy across several key Times Media websites, overseeing all aspects of their digital lives, from ensuring the integrity of social media platforms, to designing the specifications for website improvements, to managing editorial direction and process. She had success in each area, and was responsible for moving Times Media properties from low-profile to high-profile positions in a short space of time. Razia is both a reliable colleague and a creative thinker, able to tackle challenges on the fly, and always ready to go the extra mile. She has an excellent working knowledge of the systems that are required to run a successful digital platform at scale, is an outstanding business analyst, and a good manager with extensive experience at leading teams effectively. In short, Razia is a full-stack digital wizard, and you can expect her to make a significant, positive contribution to your department or organisation. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for further detail. Yours sincerely
