Bio
Ricardo Sanches
I have known and worked with Johannes for many years. Together we worked on complex software development and customer deployment projects all over the world - South Africa, France, UK, US, others. I was Director of Engineering at the time and Johannes was leading teams of Consultants and Software Engineers working on product development and customer facing work. Johannes has a very good and powerful mix of technical and personal skills which enable him to be successful and GET THINGS DONE to the highest standards. He has an immense amount of energy, determination and customer focus. He is also not afraid of change and of adjusting the course – when necessary – to achieve the right outcome. It was always a pleasure working with Johannes and I wish him continued success in everything he does.

Johannes has the ability to present complex technical solutions into simple customer solutions/presentations. His ability to support and resolve issues with facts and data has built his reputation of respect from internal and external stakeholders. Johannes protects the company and always stands his ground for what he believes is right for the customer and our organization. His consultation and advise has helped me to resolve some of the biggest critical situation in our organization. He is a great asset to our company and I would highly recommend Johannes to anyone.
