    Faculty Leadership Update And Appointments

    Dear DaVinci Community,

    We would like to share an update on recent changes and appointments within the faculty leadership at The DaVinci Institute. These changes reflect our ongoing commitment to academic continuity, strong leadership, and the purposeful growth of our learning ecosystem.

    At the end of December 2025, Prof Lucky Mathebula stepped down from his dual role as Head of Faculty: People Management and Head of Programme for the Higher Certificate in Management of Technology and Innovation, Advanced Certificate in Business Innovation Management, and Advanced Diploma in Innovation Management Practices. Prof Mathebula will continue his association with DaVinci through his organisation, Thinc Foundation, maintaining a valued relationship grounded in shared purpose and ongoing collaboration. 

    During the same period, Prof Ben Anderson stepped down from his role as Head of Faculty: Technology Management, while continuing in his role as Head of Programme for the Postgraduate Diploma in Business Leadership, Master of Management in Technology and Innovation and Master of Business Leadership. Following these changes, the Institute undertook a careful review of faculty leadership to ensure alignment with our strategic priorities and to strengthen leadership capacity across our academic environment.

    We are pleased to announce the following appointments:

    Dr Mamohau Sekgaphane has been appointed Head of Faculty: People Management, while continuing in her role as Head of Programme: Bachelor of Commerce in Business Management. Dr Sekgaphane will lead the People Management faculty from January 2026 with a focus on academic coherence, reflective leadership, and meaningful impact. 

    Dr Sam February has been appointed Head of Faculty: Technology and Innovation Management, in addition to his role as Head of Programme for our Higher Certificate in Management of Technology and Innovation, Advanced Certificate in Business Innovation Management, and Advanced Diploma in Innovation Management Practices. 

    Dr Gavin Isaacs remains Head of Faculty: Systems and Research, alongside his role as Head of Programme for our Doctor of Business Leadership and Doctor of Management in Technology and Innovation, continuing to guide DaVinci’s research depth, systemic inquiry, and scholarly integrity.

    These appointments reaffirm DaVinci’s commitment to thoughtful academic leadership, continuity, and the ongoing development of our faculties and programmes in service of our broader purpose.

    We thank our community for its continued engagement, trust, and contribution as we move forward together.
