What makes you excited to start work each day?
Putting my mind to work and using the gifts I’ve been blessed with to add value in a field I’m passionate about. The anticipation of the day’s events and the journey that awaits.
Up until today, what’s the most significant accomplishment of your career?
Applying the Inbox Zero Mindset early in my career. Jokes aside, this isn’t easy to answer as everything relates to one’s career progress. What was a significant accomplishment for me to get my ISTQB and other Quality certifications when I first entered the quality space, is just as important an accomplishment to me now as successfully leading quality engagements with clients and enabling others to achieve their career accomplishments.

What inspired you to enter the technology field?
The exposure to IT that I received whilst in the South African Navy training as a radar operator in a strike craft fleet.
What would you be doing if you hadn’t gone into technology consulting?
Architect
What do you do when you’re not working?
I spend time with my wife and daughter, cook, cycle (mountain, road, and fat biking and keeping my bicycles working), build mountain bike trails, build and maintain, and go camping, fishing, hiking, and reading (sci-fi/fantasy). Oh, and sleeping.
What part of Trissential’s core values do you connect with best and why?
Humble confidence. At the end of the day, we are part of a team, striving for common goals. I win, you win, we all win. How we get there and what we achieve is not determined by our egos or status but by getting the job done in a well-functioning team.
Why did you choose to join Trissential?
In addition to Trissential being a “working family”, Trissential cares about their clients, and their people and they stand out amongst the crowd.
How would you describe Trissential in five words or less?
Boldly ambitious, consultatively eagle-eyed.
