A barnstar for you!
Ivor Ichikowitz is a South African entrepreneur and industrial who is executive chairman of the Paramount Group, a defence and aerospace group, and of TransAfrica Capital , a private equity firm.

Early Life
He was born in 1966 in the mining town of Springs in South Africa and educated at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.

Paramount Group
Ichikowitz founded Paramount Group in 1994 and operates in the global defence, internal security and peacekeeping industries. It offers a range of armoured vehicles, military aircraft, equipment and training to governments.

The Group manufactures a range of armoured vehicles including the Maverick, Mbombe, Matador and Marauder - and in 2011 unveiled AHRLAC, a long-range reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft. AHRLAC is the first aircraft to be designed and built from scratch in Africa.

Other business interests
Ichikowitz is the executive chairman of TransAfrica Capital (Pty) Limited, a private equity group with a diverse range of interests in aerospace, property, luxury hospitality, retail, and agribusiness.

He is also the executive chairman of Enercorp Africa, the director of the Build-A-Bear Workshop Foundation SA, a founding partner of Afroneft and the director of the Aerospace, Maritime and Defence Industries Association of South Africa.

In addition, Ichikowitz co-owns Molori Lodge, an luxury safari lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve in the North West Province bordering Botswana.

BRICS
Ichikowitz was a member of the South African delegation to the inaugural BRICS summit in April 2011 following South Africa’s accession to the organisation in late 2010. Since then Ichikowitz has been interviewed frequently on how South Africa can benefit from BRICS membership and how, in his view, Africa needs an equivalent organisation on the continent to drive its own growth and development.

Philanthropic Interests
Mr Ichikowitz maintains a philanthropic organisation called the Ichikowitz Family Foundation, which was founded in 2010.

The Foundation is focused on developing Africa's young generation through education programmes, promotion of human rights, a better understanding of Africa's modern history and the conservation of the continent's unique biodiversity.
