Johan Botes
Consilia Group CEO
Johannesburg
Johan is qualified to give this speech due to the fact that he has at least 25 years of experience as a chartered accountant, which gives him an excellent base to work from as well as the needed skills and knowledge on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Combined with his skills in the auditor field, he has vast practical experience in the ERP market, specifically related to Sage and SAP. Johan has a go-getter kind of approach to business and this allows him to never miss an opportunity when it comes to any entrepreneurial opportunity that crosses his path. These three key areas combined gave Johan the advantage he needed to build Consilia from the ground up in such a short period as well as funding the business himself with no bank debt. He understands what it takes to build a business successfully without spending money on unnecessary equipment, skills or any business related expenses and therefore maximising Consilia’s profit margins.
