Vincent was born in Paarl, Cape Town, South Africa. He has over 18 years in the IT industry filling various positions from development to management

Vincent started his IT career as a hardware & network administrator and soon realised his passion for development and management alike.

He moved from junior to senior developer, and eventually ended up in a project management position.

He never says no to a challenge and has shifted between being a development manager, general manager (IT), and SCRUM master a number of years ago, eventually ending up in an IT management role. He never stopped developing web-based applications using various technologies and frameworks – always curious to learn new ways of better solving business problems from a technical point of view. He continued to pursue his vision of moving into a leadership role and has now founded numerous business ventures.

He believes he cannot predict the future but has always strived to be the best at what he does, and to share the experience he has gained over the years with others.
