Michael Du Preez is the Marketing Executive and Head of International Business and Strategy for Tracker. He is responsible for business, product, brand and strategy development – a position he has held for the past four years.
Prior to his career with Tracker, he was one of the founders and Managing Director of MobileData – a vehicle Telematics solutions company acquired by Tracker in 2007. It is this technology that continues to create value and open up new channels of business for Tracker today.
For many years he was a loyal member of WesBank’s management team serving, most recently, as Head of Research and Development. Michael holds a senior qualification in Business Management from Henley.
His colleagues describe him as an open-minded and creative free-thinker, always looking to bring innovation and strategic value to the world of vehicle Telematics. His work helped pioneer Insurance Telematics in South Africa, and more recently, assisted in the breakthrough creation of TomTom’s first HD Traffic service in Africa.
He sees his future influence in the area of how technology will enable sustainable mobility models in a world challenged for resources. Or, simply put, ensuring our future “freedom to drive”.
