Johann Marais
A hybrid manager and entrepreneur with a main focus in strategic business development, market expansion and Africa deal-making. I focus on the innovative use of technology for performance enhancing solutions with a solid value proposition - quicker, simpler, efficient and more cost effective.
I enjoy a solid, successful business experience that afforded me the opportunity to develop an extensive knowledge and experience of business and market development into Africa, directly addressing investor needs and requirements. Therefore, I am able to translate operational requirements of business and customers into delivered milestones, realising their business and project objectives from raising capital to business planning, project delivery and even turnaround management where and if required. I develop new opportunities and new vertical income streams.
As a performance oriented initiator and executor, I bring innovative ideas, share my vast experience, skills and knowledge within any business or operational venture and convert strategic intent into business reality.
