During this time, he was twice recognised as one of the top three area managers in the business.
In 2019, Piet was appointed as the Private Wealth Management Regional Executive for the Western, Southern and Eastern Cape, which gave him a good understanding of the full spectrum of financial planning in the region and this enabled him to provide support to financial planners in the region and to ensure that their clients’ financial planning needs were always met.

Piet is an avid golfer and follows most sport. He loves coaching and nothing gives him more pleasure than seeing someone else succeed through his nurturing, guidance and encouragement. He is a father of three, a storyteller and practical joker of note and enjoy spending time with his family and friends around the dining room table discussing life.
