Eben Odendaal

I’m at my best when I work with people to develop and implement effective business strategy, portfolios, programs and projects. I have several years of general management experience, typically leading and developing teams of 4 – 12 senior, cross-functional professionals, in the Finance, IT, Pharmaceuticals, Mining, Petrochemicals, Energy, Transport and Logistics industries. I have been recognized for my ability to successfully deliver programs and projects and, through my corporate finance and business development experience, I know how to build a successful commercial enterprise. I have established my skill set as a Program Manager, Engagement Manager, Senior Management Consultant and Engineer and I have a knack for solving, and leading people through, complex and ambiguous problems. I take pride in being honest, someone who takes initiative, a collaborative leader and a strong problem solver. Problem solving, relationship building and unifying diverse stakeholders are my key strengths and something that I thoroughly enjoy. As a personal interest; I love using technology to solve real-world problems in creative ways, with a particular interest in the eight emerging technologies that are likely to have the biggest impact on our future: Block-chain, Drones, Internet of Things, Robots, Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
