My name is Johan, I’m a UK based Management Consultant and Chartered Accountant (CIMA, CGMA). I’ve been living and working in the UK since 2007, moving here from my home country, South Africa, to study CIMA and explore new horisons.
I love to talk about data visualisation, agile project management, personal finance, FinTechs, Excel, and you’ll see my eyes light up when you mention motorcycling or snowboarding. I’m fortunate in that my wife loves (read “is addicted to”) travelling. She inspires me to explore so much more of our beautiful world and she’s my favourite travel companion.

Exploring the world with my wife
My wife's travelled to more than 40 countries, seen all 7 wonders of the world, and her love for adventure is intoxicating - she's the perfect travel companion and a great inspiration to me.
Adventure motorcycling
A long winding road, feeling temperature changes, smelling your surroundings - you immerse yoursefl in the environment and journey - it's not just about the destination, but also the journey.
Snowboarding
There is something magical about sitting on top of a mountain, taking in the views of the snow covered mountains, strapping on your snowboard and then carving fresh lines all day long.
