Werner’s financial services career started in 2016 at the Old Mutual Academy where he was awarded Academy of the year (Greenlight) in 2017. Prior to joining Old Mutual, he had owned several successful businesses where he experienced firsthand how overwhelming managing finances can be. He met many people who had worked their whole lives but, without proper education and information regarding their financial future, had struggled to be financially secure at retirement. He realised the critical role that financial planning plays and wanted to help others to set goals and achieve their dreams.

Werner joined Private Wealth Management at the start of 2025 as an Associate Financial Planner and is based in Pretoria. In his role, he takes time to understand the needs of his clients and the importance of helping them to plan so they achieve the best possible outcome for them and their families – now and in the future.
