Hi, I’m Mattheus Wessels (also known as Rikus), a South African passionate about connecting people, ideas, and opportunities. With over 14 years of professional experience—including leadership in recruitment, talent acquisition, education management, and teaching—I’ve had the privilege of living and working in amazing places like Georgia and South Korea. My journey has been shaped by studying International Studies and History at Stellenbosch University, with further studies in Belgium and Germany, and earning a Master’s in International Human Resources Management from the Rome Business School.
As someone who thrives on inspiring others and creating meaningful connections, I bring energy, creativity, and adaptability to everything I do. I excel at motivating people to get behind challenging and important goals, and I’m known for being outgoing, reliable, and nurturing. Whether I’m leading cross-cultural teams, designing learning programs, or recruiting and hiring the right people for the right roles, I focus on fostering environments where people and organizations can thrive.
When I’m not busy building teams or strategizing growth, I love traveling—it’s a passion of mine and something I deeply love, as it allows me to connect with people and gain a deeper understanding of cultures from around the world. Along the way, I enjoy diving into geopolitical landscapes, exploring current affairs, poring over maps, and discovering new wines. Let’s connect—I’d love to explore how we can build something impactful together!
