Daniel Martin

Daniel a family-oriented man and devoted follower of Jesus, is a Johannesburg native known for his entrepreneurial spirit (like how he’s still trying to figure out how to tell his `2016-self not to sell his 0.53 Bitcoin). From selling marbles as a child to peddling plants, his knack for business started early.

After excelling as a deputy-head boy in matric, he pursued a BBusSc in Finance with Accounting at the University of Cape Town. During this time, he launched Cacoon, a venture aiding CA students, in managing their heavy textbooks. Post-selling Cacoon, he ventured into web design during his PGDA, albeit struggling to balance academics and entrepreneurship.

In 2022, he began his TOPP Entrepreneurship articles at VAT IT and married Leandra. Finding his place at VAT IT, he embraced the Head of Sales Enablement role at TecEx, leading a team of 37 salespeople. His business transitioned towards LinkedIn and sales enablement, providing opportunities to collaborate with global CEOs. Daniel is a multifaceted individual who combines faith, family, entrepreneurship, and problem-solving.
