Deon van den Berg

“I have known Deon over the twelve years and have had the pleasure of working for him for over six years. He is a terrific leader who believes in knowledge management and empowerment. He is excellent at identifying and recruiting talents, and developing talents within the organization. He is a firm believer in teamwork and accomplishing results through employee empowerment and appropriate resource allocation. What I like the most about Deon is always willing to listen to new ideas and suggestions. He always recognizes others contribution and gives credit and encouragement when and where it is due. He always challenges his team members to be top performers and invests in their development. For example, he encouraged me to do my MBA and challenged me to complete it on time. He is not short sighted. He always looks at the bigger picture and always looks ahead to the future. Through challenging times, he is supportive and caring. He is leader who cares about his people. He is person I am always proud to call my friend. ”

“Deon is a strong leader and a fast learner. He can quickly size up a situation, gather appropriate input, and develop and execute an effective course of action. His technical background nicely complements his broader business skills and focus on the development of individuals and teams. I'd be happy to work with Deon again given the opportunity.”
