Johannes-Matthias Ponahlo, General Manager of Octolite LLC – FZ

                                  “I only know about this one life; therefore, I live it.”

I was born in Vienna and have spent more than 40 years working across Africa, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Since settling in South Africa in 1996, Africa has become my home and the centre of my professional life. Today, as General Manager of Octolite Inc LLC–FZ, I focus on projects in international trade, agriculture and food security — always guided by personal relationships, trust and the desire to create lasting value.
