Donald's responsibilities are managing vzaar's financials and ensuring a smooth operation of the business.
His primary, financial role encompasses business planning, management accounting and reporting as well as the statutory and regulatory accounting, working closely with the CEO.
His numeracy skills are also put to great use assessing the ongoing performance of vzaar's business day-to-day, from monitoring sales and marketing KPIs to reviewing contracts.
Donald has tremendous breadth of experience, having worked in senior finance management roles at Mint Design, J. Lindeberg, the BBC, Hermes, Asprey & Garrard and Tiffany & Co.
In addition to his undoubted numerical skills and interests, Donald is a keen photographer and videographer - having undertaken a number of freelance journalist roles during his career - as well as a skier, sailor and scuba diver.
A big piece of juicy, rare fillet steak fresh off the barbie (or braai as we call it back home) with a little salt and a good glass of red wine (or three!) - good summer food that puts a smile on the face and takes me back to my roots.
Its got to be beach volleyball. Where better to dig and spike than in the sun, on the sand, next the sea - an active holiday with a chance of a gold medal at the end of it. Result.
I really like stumbleupon.com - it helps me discover useful websites related to my personal interests that I would never know existed otherwise.
Foo Fighters - I'm a big fan and one of a few bands I'd pay good money to see nowadays.
Well, I wouldn't class myself as a typical accountant but I draw inspiration from the knowledge that a lot of successful businessmen started out in finance and this built the solid foundations for their eventual success.
