Jacques and Glenda Du Preez.

Jacques has spent 40 years in business and human resources, including 12 years as an HR director in FMCG. Before that he led HR in FMCG and in the textile industry under a Bargaining Council, and he began his career as a credit manager in banking.

His work covers industrial relations and labour law, contract law, business planning and organisational design, with hands-on preparation and representation at the CCMA, Bargaining Councils and PSIRA. His HR background also spans recruitment, performance management, training and development, employment equity and B-BBEE.

He coaches and mentors owners and managers, drawing on a career spent running operations rather than only advising on them, and is completing a formal coaching certification. Every engagement starts with a free conversation, so he understands the problem before recommending anything.

Glenda leads the collective's administrative arm. She brings over 20 years of experience in personal assistance, office, facilities and operations management to a premier virtual-administration service, from diary and inbox management to travel planning, document production and client support.

A seasoned executive support specialist and virtual personal assistant, she has managed executive schedules, digital infrastructure and client operations across corporate, aviation, financial-services, security and events environments, including 15+ years in office management. She works confidently across cloud systems, CRM platforms and specialised enterprise tools, and handles multi-time-zone diaries, travel logistics, confidential HR administration and operational reporting with autonomy, discretion and precision.

Her goal is a true one-stop shop: the administrative backbone that lets clients focus entirely on growing their business, with the same personal attention Jacques brings to consulting.
