After graduating from high school in Johannesburg, South Africa, I embarked on a year-long journey across Europe, gaining diverse experiences through odd jobs. Upon returning to South Africa, I pursued a BSc (Agric) degree at Stellenbosch University. In 2003, I joined Mineware Consulting (Pty) Ltd, a family software development business, as its fifth team member. My role involved navigating various disciplines within the company, contributing as part of a team, to its remarkable growth. Subsequently, I earned an MBA, further honing my business acumen. For the past decade, I have proudly served as the Managing Director at Mineware.
