Background

About John Herbst

With over four decades of commitment to people development, I have contributed to building sustainable and profitable career paths for talented individuals and successful and profitable businesses in the property industry. Combined with an entrepreneurial philosophy, and a relentless pursuit of creating strategic and operational value within a business ecosystem, by driving growth objectives and business efficiencies. I have been fortunate to work with and lead significant industry role-players within the property sector in South Africa and Sub Saharan Africa. I am adept at strategically driving commercial solutions that optimise production capacity, grow revenue, create value and deliver an innovative B2B and B2C client offering and experience in future-ready business environments. As a sectoral agnostic and sustainability advocate, I am constantly pushing boundaries to look at alternative and innovative technological enablers to complement business functions in a carbon-neutral environment to optimise so as to not frustrate user experience. I am a firm believer in the values of simplicity, collaboration, empowerment and sustainability.
