How Hennie is building a better working world
Hennie builds a better working world by living with purpose. His vision is to help Africa realise its potential, despite all its challenges.
He recognises that leadership is needed if communities are to uplift themselves and thereby build stronger economies across the continent and the world. Stepping into this leadership gap, Hennie promotes inclusiveness and diversity, and is respectful of input and suggestions from all. His goal is to increase productivity and better position African businesses in these economies. He aims to fuel Africa’s economic growth across the major economic hubs.
Never shy to do the dirty work, Hennie derives great satisfaction from collaborating on creative solutions for society at large, and the disabled community in particular.
