Background

About Megan Joynt

I’m a final-year Business Analytics student at Stellenbosch University with a strong interest in strategy, problem-solving, and leadership with impact. As Chairperson of the University of Stellenbosch Consulting Society, I work with firms like BCG, Bain & Co, and Oliver Wyman to coordinate on-campus events. I also led marketing for the Hult Prize Stellenbosch, a social entrepreneurship pitching competition, where I created educational content and connected student teams with industry mentors. I was selected for BCG’s Grow program, which helped me develop my consulting toolkit, and am currently involved in Oliver Wyman’s Women’s Mentorship initiative. I’ve managed student projects, expanded social media platforms, and supported community initiatives in under-resourced areas in South Africa. I also taught myself Swedish and German to C2 level and tutored both languages internationally alongside my university studies. I’ve also attended international conferences in the German-speaking region of Europe on topics related to economics and politics—experiences that deepened my appreciation for thinkers like Friedrich Hayek and broadened my interest in the intersection between markets, policy, and human behavior. I believe strategy should be both analytical and human. With a multilingual, multicultural background, I’m especially interested in bridging global and local perspectives in meaningful ways.
