PIETER
Gruenbaum

I went into business with 6 partners way back in 1997 as a realtor with a National franchise, specializing in coastal property and was appointed as the Managing Director with a board of 6 members and shareholders. That was a major achievement for me at age 38. I was MD for 2 years, before I went on my own.

My strong suit has always been planning and being strategic about it. I love the challenge of analysing data and forecast what the future can look like. One of my clients, which I coached and mentored for 3 years had this to say:

 "I have started to think differently managing my people" - Andries Pretorius (Precon Survey)

Another of my clients which I coached and mentored for 2 years had this to say:

"Pieter is the objective voice you need when the noises become too much. Pieter always helps to focus thoughts and goals for the best outcomes" - Anel Pieterse (Anovate Group)

My experience as a Board Member: 2 years as Managing Director 12 years of owning my own companies 5 years of coaching & mentoring executives 2 years as Executive Board Member: Local Chamber of Commerce 5 years as committee member on our Church Managing Committee

My qualifications include:

  • National Diploma: Sales and Marketing

  • Various certificates on Financial Planning, i.e., Estate Planning, Personal Financial Planning, etc.

  • HR: Certification as Prosecutor & Chairman (Disciplinary hearings)

  • Certified Business Coach

  • Certified Executive Coach & Trainer

I believe that being authentic and having integrity is the driving force for building lasting relationships and trust. When you listen and observe you learn the most from people and the environment. That is how I tend to make decisions as well.

My vision and purpose:

“Building relationships through measurable and sustainable behavioural change”

What I stand for:

a) I believe in helping people to achieve more and reach their dreams

b) I am passionate about you, your business, and your team

c) It is my purpose and mission to help grow your business and create more jobs.

d) I believe in fairness and honesty

e) I believe in opportunity and prosperity for all

f) It is my purpose to help build leaders and teams for the future

I have been married to Sandra for nearly 38 years now and we have 2 boys. Both are married and we have 4 grandchildren. Amazing too how these guys change your life. We are fortunate to have them around daily.
