I'M
ARMIN WIELAND.
FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR AT V5 DIGITAL: DIGITAL MARKETING | DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION | INNOVATION & IDEATION
As an experienced Digital Marketer with a passion for innovation and growth, I've had the pleasure of working across a wide range of industry verticals that have allowed me to hone my skills in all things Digital Transformation, Digital Market Research, CRM, Digital Strategy, Customer Experience, Marketing Automation, Salesforce Consulting, Innovation and Ideation, Business Informatics and Processes. Starting a Digital Marketing agency, V5 Digital, marked the day my career truly clicked into place. My love for exploring new technologies and strategies combined with a desire to make a meaningful impact on the African digital marketing landscape, drives me to continually push the boundaries of what's possible in this exciting industry.
I enjoy learning new things and talking with people so feel free to reach out to collaborate or discuss digital marketing, emerging tech, precision farming, deceleration of global warming, kite surfing, motorsport, aviation, or anything that contains a dash of adrenaline. Academically, I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Business Informatics from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and an MBA from Stellenbosch Business School. I take great pride and joy in being part of Intrahealth International as Chairman of the Board of Directors as well as being Marketing Director for the Commercial Advancement Training Scheme of Namibia, and grateful for the knowledge and experience gained from these roles.
With a deep understanding of the economics, banking and finance sectors, particularly within Namibia, in my role as chairman of the board at Intrahealth Namibia I currently oversee a 10 million US$ annual budget. My extensive experience includes managing projects funded by global donors, notably Intrahealth initiatives supported by The United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Additionally, my years of experience in the financial sector are bolstered by my tenure with the Ohlthaver & List Group of Companies, where I executed projects of comparable scale and duration.
Drawing from personal and professional experiences, I’ve gained the skills to accomplish the following:
