Strategic Force: A Three-Person Team with Depth, Grit and Vision
We’re not another management consultancy—we’re operators who’ve sat in your chair, aligning strategy, operations, and governance where others leave gaps.
​
In a landscape where businesses must move fast, build trust, and stay compliant while innovating, few teams offer the balance of strategic clarity, operational grit, and governance acumen like this one. Bringing together over four decades of combined experience across finance, entrepreneurship, communication, and risk, this trio offers an integrated lens on growth.
​
Danie Malan, Leendert Punt, and Charl Nel are a rare blend of thinkers and doers—each with proven track records in their respective domains. Together, they offer organisations a full-circle capability: from building businesses and brands that resonate, to designing systems that work, to ensuring those systems meet the highest standards of integrity and oversight.
​
Whether supporting startups looking to scale, established companies seeking transformation, or mission-driven ventures needing both head and heart, this team offers hands-on execution, clear thinking, and leadership that’s quietly confident.
