He is responsible for "developing a full advisory board and strategy across key Africa regions," and complementing the pre-existing GBTA Southern Africa association, according to GBTA. Naidoo since 2011 has served as Africa travel manager for Fortune 500 manufacturer Cummins, "with a remit to manage the travel and expense program for the company across an extensive expansion project across Africa."
