Meet the people behind Clidash
We're a small, driven team on a mission to transform how South African financial advisors manage their clients, their meetings, and their day. We believe great software should feel effortless, and that the right tools can give advisors more time for what actually matters: their clients. Every decision we make, every feature we ship, is guided by that belief. We're building Clidash with care, with purpose, and with the people who use it at the centre of everything.
The founders
Founder & CEO

Arnold is the founder and CEO of Clidash, and the brain behind everything we're building. With a degree in electrical engineering and app development, he brings a rare blend of technical depth and entrepreneurial vision to the team.
He leads the business day-to-day, drives much of our development work, and spearheads the innovation that keeps Clidash moving forward. His passion and energy are what set the tone for everything we do.
Chief Operating Officer

She leads onboarding, oversees compliance, and juggles the countless moving parts that keep our operations running smoothly. Organised, resourceful, and genuinely invested in our clients and team, Jené is the operator every startup dreams of having.
Chief Technical Officer
Christiaan
Christiaan is our CTO and the mastermind behind the tech that powers Clidash. With a background in software engineering, he turns complex problems into clean, elegant solutions.
He leads our development efforts, architects the systems that keep everything running, and brings deep technical expertise to every challenge we tackle. The product you see and use is a reflection of his craftsmanship.
Solutions & Operations Engineer
Wian
Wian is our Solutions and Operations Engineer, and the main touchpoint for our clients. He runs onboarding and training, so if you work with Clidash, you'll be seeing a lot of him.
He's just as involved on the inside: helping refine the product itself while optimising the internal systems that keep the whole company running smoothly. His rare mix of genuine people skills and solid technical knowledge makes him a real asset to the team.
Systems Engineer
Francois
Francois is our Systems Engineer and takes charge of all our data imports, which is where most of the heavy lifting happens when a firm moves over to Clidash. If you ever migrate to us, your data is in good hands.
He's also involved in development and keeps our data systems running exactly as they should. His technical depth, deep understanding of data migrations, and his joyful, positive energy make him a hugely valuable part of the team.
