Her public service includes serving on the SABC board from 2010 to 2013, which returned the broadcaster back to solvency.

Her extensive mentoring of young talent, particularly of young women, will be of immense value. Clare's appointment as Primedia's COO comes at a time when the Board and the CEO, Jonathan Procter, are purposefully focusing on ensuring that young female talent throughout our businesses is recognised and uplifted in line with our holistic transformation agenda.”
Clare is upbeat about joining the Primedia family and said: "I view my role as one of facilitator. It is my job to create an environment that ensures and delivers on the overall corporate strategy. My passion lies not only in optimising operations and ensuring that they are future fit, but in developing people. One of the things that drew me to this position is that increasingly Primedia is a creative place abundant with young enthusiastic talent. I look forward to working with the formidable team at Primedia.”
