I had a truly extraordinary career. It is a child-of-farmer's tale reflecting discipline, high standards, hard work and high integrity. Today I am viewed as a well respected systems development and implementation leader between my colleagues and team members. Over the years I have dedicated my self to adding value to my employers and team members. I was born on September 25, 1961 in Niekershoop a very small farming community in Northern Cape Province, South Africa to Francois and Martha Jacobs, both from the traditional South Africa farming culture. Twenty-four years since 1985 in business. My international system implementation experience includes countries such as Brazil, Canada,… Caribbean, Kazakhstan, Russia, South Africa and United States of America. My biggest value-add is my understanding of Information Systems from both the operational and consulting perspectives. I have management (general, project and business administration management), business analysis (business information analysis and business process engineering) and information system (systems and technology) knowledge and experience in the Consulting, Chemical, Metals, Manufacturing, and Agricultural industries. My leadership and coaching ability is driven by high levels of self motivation, analytical capability, people orientation and ability to communicate at all walks of life. My knowledge and experience are strengthened by formal education: PhD, (Price Decision Support Systems), May 2000. M.Com, (Financial Information for the Management Process), 1993. B.Econ. (Hon), (Marketing, Finance, Information & Control Systems), 1987. B.Agric., (Economics, Business & Agricultural Economics), 1983.
