Johann Strydom

After obtaining an Engineering degree at RAU, Johann worked for SABMiller in the UK before transferring back to SA to join the Warehousing and Distribution Division of SABMiller.

The Automotive Component Sector beckoned with first a Logistics position, and later the National Sales and Marketing Director position at Bosal. This provided in-depth experience serving him well in various General Manager and Country Director positions for a number of international automotive component companies. 

Most recently, while Manufacturing Executive at a listed Packaging company in South Africa, Johann completed a master's degree in leadership Coaching at the University of Stellenbosch Business School. This allowed him to pivot into a new career - giving back though the coaching of teams and individuals. Apart from hard won experience in some of the most competitive manufacturing environments, Johann also holds a CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting.  

Combining the practical, process thinking of an engineer with a master's in philosophy Johann has a structured, outcome driven approach without neglecting the focus of all coaching:  Helping those in our care grow to the maximum of their potential. 

 In his personal life Johann has been (happily!) married to Lindie since 2002, and the proud father of three amazing children.  He believes humour, appropriately and intelligently used, to be an essential ingredient to just about any process - certainly coaching!
