About Me
With years of hands-on experience, I’ve built a business focused on practical solutions and consistent results. Working alone means I stay close to every detail, ensuring complete accountability and a smooth process from start to finish. My goal is to make working with me easy, transparent, and genuinely helpful.
Dr. Anton Olivier
PhD, MMGT, MBL, BEng(Hons), BEng, PMP
I am a seasoned strategist and project management expert with extensive experience in public and private sector leadership across Africa. I hold a PhD in Public Leadership & Strategy Execution from the University of Stellenbosch, focusing on closing the strategy execution gap in the public sector.
I also have dual master’s degrees — an MMGT from the University of Southern Queensland and an MBL from UNISA — which allow me to combine academic rigor with practical leadership insights. Additionally, I hold engineering qualifications (BEng Hons in Water Resources Engineering and BEng in Civil Engineering) and am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) through PMI, USA.
I specialise in strategy planning, execution, project management, and project reviews, helping organisations turn strategic plans into measurable results. My work spans public institutions, private enterprises, and complex multi-stakeholder projects across Africa, with a particular focus on Namibia.
