Kendall Hay
marketing & commodities director – AFRICAafrica
Kendall Hay is the central commercial and communications interface for Rand Global Group across Africa – the single point of contact through which every investor enquiry, every commodity buyer relationship, and every strategic partnership conversation flows.
In a company where the quality of every external interaction directly determines the confidence of investors and the reliability of commercial relationships, Kendall’s role is not peripheral. It is the point at which RGG’s credibility, professionalism, and commercial ambition meet the outside world – every single day.
With 17 years + of experience spanning brand strategy, marketing, and visual communication – built across graphic design, strategic positioning, and brand development at the highest professional level – Kendall brings to RGG a rare and powerful combination. The creative intelligence to build a brand that serious investors and commodity buyers trust at first glance. The commercial discipline to manage the relationships and pipeline that turn that trust into signed mandates, committed capital, and long-term trading partnerships.
Her investor relations mandate covers the full spectrum of RGG’s investor-facing activity – from brand strategy, digital presence, and financial proposal development to direct investor engagement, mandate management, and the facilitation of every conversation from first enquiry to signed agreement. Every piece of content that represents RGG publicly – every LinkedIn post, every proposal, every website page, every email – is conceived, created, and managed by Kendall to a standard that reflects the calibre of the opportunities RGG presents.
Her commodities mandate places her at the operational centre of RGG’s trading desk activity – developing and managing the buyer relationships, off-take networks, and supplier connections that underpin RGG’s commodity trading operations across Southern Africa and internationally. Sugar, maize, grains, cooking oil, and gold – Kendall builds and maintains the commercial relationships that move these commodities from source to buyer at volume, with the reliability and professionalism that long-term trading partners expect.
Her communications mandate is the thread that ties everything together. Every inbound enquiry – from a high-net-worth investor in Dubai, a bulk commodity buyer in Zambia, a strategic partner in Johannesburg, or a media contact anywhere in the world – is handled by Kendall with the same standard of professionalism, responsiveness, and personal attention. This consistency is not accidental. It is the result of more than 17 years of professional discipline applied to a role that demands it every day.
What makes Kendall’s contribution to Rand Global Group distinctive is not any single skill in isolation. It is the integration of creative, commercial, and relational capability in a role that requires all three simultaneously – and the commitment to execute at the highest standard across all of them, without exception.
For anyone looking to engage with Rand Global Group – as an investor, a commodity buyer, a strategic partner, or a media contact – Kendall Hay is your first and most important point of contact.
