Gerhard Potgieter

My personality is described as an “ENTJ-A” according to Myers-Briggs personality types. I make
choices based on numbers, probability, and reasoning. I am merciless in my drive and tend to
draw people together to align toward a common goal. Every day is prioritized and planned
for optimized time management. My high standard of productivity is sustained with feedback
and criticism. Objective, rational reasoning on what is done right and what can improve is
helpful to me, I do not resent criticism, I appreciate it. I am a clear and concise communicator
and crave leadership and responsibility.

My combined experience in biochemistry and occupational, health and safety (OHS) legislation
put me in a unique skilled group as an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) co-ordinator.
I have developed tailored environmental and social management systems (ESMS) for major
corporations. My previous experience indicates the successful financing and implementation of
sustainable remediation strategies for organic and inorganic contaminated environments and
waste. While congruently applying highly effective occupational and social workforce
monitoring, record keeping, culture development, stakeholder engagements, and legislative
compliance based on international standard requirements.
