Troye Lund is Executive Director and Managing Partner (Editorial) at IJ Hub.
She started reporting on South Africa’s political economy during the country’s first democratic elections in 1994. Her career began on The Star newspaper’s political desk, where she had a ringside seat to observe and report on the establishment of a new democratic state – including the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings and the drafting of South Africa’s constitution. She joined Independent Newspapers’ parliamentary team in Cape Town three years later, tracking and interrogating policy, budgets, legislation, and the party politics behind them. After a stint as a parliamentary correspondent for radio, she became deputy editor of Fairlady magazine in 2002, gaining editorial and management experience – planning content, commissioning, editing, and managing production. Troye returned to Parliament in 2005 for Finweek, and later joined Times Media to write for Financial Mail and Business Day. She was appointed IJ Hub’s Managing Partner (Editorial) in 2022.
