Autorenporträt
Johan de Villiers is not your average CEO. As the visionary leader of First Technology Western Cape, an award-winning IT provider in South Africa, he's known for his unorthodox leadership style that blends razor-sharp business acumen with a relentless thirst for adventure. Whether navigating through the dense African jungle, piloting helicopters, scaling some of the world's highest mountains or leading high-stakes boardroom meetings, Johan lives by his mantra: "Have more fun, take more risks, and be more substantial in somebody's life."The formula for Johan's remarkable success lies in his balanced approach to life and leadership. He combines intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and discipline with raw imagination and an adventurous spirit. He's a seasoned risk-taker, yet never dismisses the importance of meticulous planning and preparation. Committed to excellence, he consistently drives himself and those around him towards higher achievement through discipline, teamwork, and a relentless focus on personal growth.Johan is not one to simply ride the wave of market trends - he anticipates them and then turns them to his advantage. He challenges the status quo and mainstream perspectives, questioning how facts are presented or interpreted, especially when driven by hidden agendas or outdated thinking. But he's not a contrarian for the sake of it. Instead, his approach is anchored in a firm belief that fresh perspectives can spark groundbreaking innovations.A futurist at heart, Johan is deeply committed to harnessing technology for societal good. He's keenly attuned to the seismic shifts brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution - and its enormous implications for all of us - and believes that our collective future hinges on our ability to use technology responsibly.
