About Werner Trieloff
South African born, Werner Trieloff has lived in South Africa, Scotland and London, before finally settling in Brazil from 2008 until today. He has also travelled for business to more than 30 countries in the last 20 years. This has broadened his horizons considerably and given him a great understanding of the differences amongst cultures and places while also assisting in creating a positive outlook for international and cross continent business. He speaks English, Afrikaans and Portuguese fluently, with a great understanding of Spanish and Dutch.
The cornerstone of his education is a Bachelors degree (Chartered accounting), Post Grad and Masters degrees (Management accounting) at NorthWest University of South Africa. He is also a CIMA member (Chartered global management accountant). Other speciality topics/courses include NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) and Negotiation (San Telmo, Spain).
While in South Africa he started his career in IT/sales and later owned a consulting and coaching company
which he sold when he moved to Brazil. In Brazil he has worked with a number of international accounting associations (UHY, Polaris, Prime Global, TGS-Global) and in 2013 he opened his own consulting firm – WDT International, a company focussed on assisting foreign companies coming into Brazil and supporting Brazilian companies to expand abroad.
In 2017 he started an investment firm – Open Road Investments which initially held investment in two start-ups – www.stargrid.pro and www.starlearning.com.br. – while also operating in the commodity space exporting agricultural items to EMEA, M&A and renewable energy.
In 2018 Werner was invited to take on the role of Latin American Director for Abacus Worldwide – a top 20 global accounting, audit and law association.
