Zulaika Sunthbocus
Managing Director, Spoon Consulting Ltd

Born in Mauritius, I begun my school days at Loreto Convent Port Louis and joined the Queen Elizabeth college for my secondary studies.
A French scholarship after my HSC brought me first to Reunion island where I did a D.E.U.G in Economy.
I decided to change and chose to study Computer Science hardly recommended by my visionary father.
I spent four years in university of Montpellier where I obtained my degree in Information Technology.

I began my career as an Analyst Programmer in Paris. My professional motivations were so obvious that my managers made a proposition completely aligned with my ambitions.

I had training on ‘Oracle ERP’, integrated applications to manage information systems. I got a great opportunity to join PricewaterhouseCoopers and to become an IT consultant accompanying my clients throughout the world, to implement their information system based on the Oracle e- Business Suite technologies.

In May 2005, I come back to my native country and in October we launch Spoon Consulting Ltd with 2 partners.

Spoon Consulting is now one of the most innovative IT software development company of Mauritius counting more than 80 Mauritian employees and offering our services on high level technologies like Cloud Computing.

I have also taken this opportunity to take advantage of the wonderful leisures of Mauritius as a paradise island, now practicing Scuba Diving, Golf, hiking, etc.
