Legal training. Founder experience. Commercial judgement.
Werner Badenhorst is a Strategic Commercial Advisor who works with founders, executives and boards on the commercial, governance and strategic challenges that come with growth.
His career spans law, executive leadership, financial services, technology, manufacturing and founder-led businesses. He has served as an Advocate of the High Court of South Africa, led legal and governance functions across multiple jurisdictions, founded and scaled ventures, and supported organisations operating in South Africa and internationally.
Werner's approach is practical and integrated. He does not view business questions solely through a legal or consulting lens. He connects strategy, governance, risk, contracts and execution — then helps leadership decide what to do next.
