About Shaun O'Connor

I joined Dimagi South Africa in July 2019 as an Account Executive. A born Capetonian, but I grew up in Port Elizabeth, finishing school and a Diploma in Marketing at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University.

I worked in a variety of industries, Retail, Banking, Manufacturing and Software. Built my skillset around Sales and Account Management positions over the past several years.  Gained valuable experience in several areas, like Client Management, Operations and Sales.
I have come to the conclusion that software is an effective and efficient way to make a meaningful impact in the world. Dimagi promotes sustainability as a company, so that we can use technology as a tool to make a positive impact in communities that need it the most. That is what drew me to Dimagi, the type of company that I wanted to work for after doing some soul searching. My goal is to learn more about driving sustainable businesses and operations so that I may assist conventional organizations, to have the ability to sustain themselves. 

I absolutely enjoy being outdoors, be it visiting a wine farm or in the bush on a bike. Love experiencing new cultures, a real foody and a sport fanatic.  Also addicted to traveling!
