Assad joined the Schuitema team officially in 2014. His experience within Schuitema Group includes content development, project and operations management, facilitation, coaching and consulting. But his relationship with Care & Growth started very young as he is the son of Etsko Schuitema, who founded and established both Care & Growth and Schuitema Group.

Prior to officially joining Schuitema, Assad was a sessional lecturer for the Philosophy department at the University of the Witwatersrand. He lectured various courses, the content of these courses included logic and critical thinking, ethics, epistemology, metaphysics and classical philosophy. Assad is currently a Phd candidate at the University of the Witwatersrand. His research provides a critique of the current state of modern academic literature of the topics of happiness and human well-being.

And Care and Growth really does have significant implications for how we should approach our own lives and for how we set up our organisations, and indeed societies. But, to enjoy the benefits of coming closer to truth in the way we live requires that people challenge some foundational assumptions.
