Marcus Hendricks
Chief Executive Officer
Marcus started his career analyzing risk patterns for emerging markets back in 2008 – right when everything was falling apart globally. That experience taught him something crucial: traditional financial education often misses the practical aspects that actually matter when markets get volatile.
He spent twelve years working with investment firms across Cape Town and Johannesburg before realizing that most people needed better foundational knowledge, not just advanced strategies. In 2019, he founded zelanqivoruth to bridge that gap between academic finance and real-world application.
What makes Marcus different is his ability to break down complex financial concepts into actionable steps. He's particularly passionate about helping people understand risk management – not the theoretical kind you read about, but the practical decisions you make when your money is actually on the line.
How We Approach Financial Education
Experience-Based Learning
We design our programs around real scenarios our team has encountered in their careers. Every case study, every example, every exercise comes from actual situations – not hypothetical textbook problems that don't reflect how finance actually works.
Practical Application Focus
Theory matters, but only when you can apply it effectively. Our approach emphasizes building skills you'll actually use, whether you're managing personal investments, running a business, or making career decisions in the financial sector.
