About Us

Dr Jeanne-Mari Retief
LLB LLM LLD (UP), Admitted Attorney (2009), Prince2 Practitioner, Belbin Accredited
I founded CALIBRICS in 2012 and its been my passion ever since. I currently run the new offices in Portugal.
I like to push boundaries in order to innovate and achieve. I believe I cannot change the status quo if I am not an active participant in driving that change. I am also passionate about human rights, especially in the African context.
I develop new initiatives but find it more fulfilling to ensure follow-through and continued success of existing initiatives. Practical implementation is where human rights projects often fall apart, and I hope to change this.
​
In my spare time, I am a mom, a wife, an aspiring guitarist and an avid music lover. After all, life needs to be lived!

Soretha Venter
LLB LLM (UP), Admitted Attorney (2010), International Anti-Corruption Practitioners Commission
I am the new CALIBRICS Partner and I run the South African office.
Thought-provoking issues intrigue me, but I aim to remember the priceless value the basics can provide. I value inputs from others and strive toward continuous growth and self-awareness.
I have a special interest in public and private administration, good governance and ethics. I strive to be a catalyst for change and success in peoples' lives. I believe in effective and efficient leadership and I actively advocate for this.
​
In my spare time, I find solace in endurance sports and believe that a healthy body hosts a healthy mind. After all, balance is key!
