A businessman by title, a sales and retail guru by trade, and a safari enthusiast at heart.
Always slightly more pleasant with a beer in hand and an elephant in sight.
A rare breed of director who thrives in two places: deep in the African bush and knee-deep in sales chaos.
When he’s in the bush, he’s calm.
When he’s in the office… just kidding, he’s hardly ever in the office.
He’s a typical Joburg private school boytjie - with a brain full of business strategy, bushveld wisdom, and fun stories. When he’s around, you'll get 'wild' stories, sharp insights, and probably a motivational chat that low-key changes your life.
Also known to hate typos – but never checks for his own.
When he’s not in the bush, he’s not in his happy place, and trust me, you’ll feel it.
Suddenly, your to-do list triples, and you’re replying to his 10th typo-riddled email in two hours.
Still, when it all feels like too much, when the deadlines pile up or life throws a curveball, he’s the one you turn to. Reliable, wise, and always ready to listen (if he is available).
The kind of mentor who doesn’t just guide you, but shapes your journey.
