Bio
Reza du Plooy
I have worked with Hester the last 2 years and know her for much longer, and to call her a Unicorn is definitely appropriate. She is categorically fantastic at mentoring people and improving processes and the backbone of what a company needs to run effectively. She is hard-working and ambitious and always willing to help out! It is an absolute pleasure and honour to work alongside her, and to watch her grow and learn has been a privilege. She has the most phenomenal future ahead of her and I really do hope it will be with Datalab.
