Johann has had a successful corporate career of some 25 years, with extensive experience in multinational businesses over a variety of industries. Johann left the corporate world at the beginning of 2015 with a vision of helping Executives, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs achieve success, using his extensive Corporate Executive and Entrepreneurial experience. A master of strategic thinking, he has an intimate knowledge of Sub-Saharan Africa and Dubai, and he has worked for many multi-national organizations in some of the toughest industries in the world. He is both consultant and coach/mentor, with a proven track record of leadership, successful turnarounds and phenomenal profit growth achievements. He has a great passion for and thrives on unlocking and realizing the true potential of people and businesses. Beyond his passion for others’ success, Johann is recognized for driving innovation and pro-active approaches to volatile market conditions. A firm believer that “every challenge brings opportunity”, he never gives up on growth and expansion, regardless of what economic indicators predict. Johann’s best attribute is his ability to foster solid relationships with clients and co-workers. Rather than ad-hoc project work, Johann believes that a true advisor is a semi-permanent member of the team, and he advises CEO’s and owners accordingly, often acting as a sounding board. Nevertheless, Johann is a very humble individual who places himself in serving positions in order to empower others. Following the uncertain economic environment with COVID-19, and having suffered (and fully recovered) from a mild stroke, Johann has faced retrenchment at an advanced stage of his career. Thus, facing financial duress, job security is currently more important than “position”.
