Gert Steyn Email and Phone Number

STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP, INSIGHT AND MANAGEMENT I have had the opportunity to lead and be part of a leading team in a lot of different situations and settings. From reporting to high levels of government to serving on company boards, complemented by my MBL studies, I really see strategic leadership as my key strength. My management experience has also taught me a lot about human behaviour and how to get the best out of every employee. I have guided various organisations, public entities and government departments through strategic planning.PROJECT MANAGEMENT I managed the largest infrastructure project in the country during my tenure at the National Department of Health. I was also the National Project Manager for the largest consulting appointment made at the time – a consulting contract with the Department of Basic Education worth R390m. GOVERNANCE I have served on various boards and board committees (audit committees, investment committee, risk management committee) for more than 10 years.SYSTEM / PROCESS ANALYSIS & ENHANCEMENT I am a very analytical person who enjoys analysing current problems, envisioning strategic directions and considering options for solving business’ current and future problems. I also thrive on practically enhancing processes and operations by applying either information technology solutions or sound project management principles. INTERPERSONAL AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION In my various positions I have had to work with a large variety of people, with different personalities and very different opinions. I have truly learned the art of win-win negotiating, settling down conflicts and really listening to people’s concerns. PUBLIC SPEAKING I have been facilitator of various FPD offered academic courses and have lectured at the University of Pretoria on a guest lecturer basis. I have had numerous radio and television interviews, especially during my tenure at the South African Veterinary Association
