Carrie Delaney comes with incredible experience across industries, and is now taking MSCSPORTS to new heights as Managing Director.

It’s not surprising, when you find out that Carrie not only graduated as top of the South African class in the ESA Diploma class of 2021, but also finished 2nd overall with a distinction, which is an incredible feat.

She is an inspiration and also sets the bar very high, which is why we’re even more delighted to share that Mscsports had 2 more graduates from the class of 2023.  Congratulations to Steven Mervis and Gill Wallace for joining the ESA Diploma alumni, along with 2 other local, and 75 other international students.

Rich caught up with Carrie to pinpoint exactly where she derived value from doing the ESA Diploma, and why she recommends it to her colleagues, clients and anyone wanting to learn more about the industry.
