Bio
Jared De Wet
Duncan and I worked together for about 1 year in a new team that was created within the department. Duncan was hand picked to run this team and managed me on my day to day activities and overall strategy for the work we were doing. To this day I have struggled to find a manager as passionate, accommodating and supportive as Duncan. He excelled in casting vision for a project and then working with me to see the job get completed. One of his core strengths as a manager is being able to bring his team along with him on the journey and pull the best out of each individual. Any company would be lucky to have him as a team lead or in a management role.

I find that if you have people's respect you can go a long way in achieving personal and business goals. Duncan is one of those people that earned the respect he enjoys within this organization. Duncan understands acquisition and the conversion fields better than most. He plays and integral part in the success of this business and he enjoys the admiration and respect from his peers for this. You will seldom find a better people manager / business unit manager and he is a true asset to any team. It's a pleasure to work with this man! And I can highly recommend his work.
