Stephan Van Rooyen Email & Phone Number

I am an experienced dealmaker and corporate development professional. I have a true passion for driving sustainable growth through corporate innovation, corporate development, and business development. I have more than 20 years of varied strategy consulting, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), divestitures, B2B sales, project management, marketing, public relations, and stakeholder communication experience. I bring a valuable combination of *quantitative* (strategy, research, financial analysis, financial modelling, business planning, valuation, stochastic simulation), *business development* (marketing, sales, sales management), *creative* (editorial, branding, design, UX), and *commercial* (deal-making, restructuring, operations, negotiation, project leadership, due diligence, merger integration) expertise to projects and employers. These skills allow me to simplify and de-risk complex transactions, develop sell-side credibility, identify value, and unlock deal potential on the buy-side. I develop deal strategy, build and manage deal pipelines, manage stakeholders, and ensure the smooth operation of separations and post-merger integrations. I have a track record of providing irreproachable strategic council and developing visionary solutions that drive growth. I have above-par written and verbal communication skills, and wide-ranging project management and executive leadership experience. I am known as a direct communicator that can handle tough conversations with diplomacy, humility, and good humour, and for being easy to work with. I hold a B. Com (Marketing and Business Management) degree from Oxford Brookes University and hopes to complete my Executive MBA (Quantic) in 2021.

Listed skills include Business Development, Public Relations, Advertising, Management, and 56 others.
