The Serious

Before joining SEO Sherpa, Wesley worked as an Analytic Business Consultant for five years, representing Nielsen South Africa & UAE. His analytic skills in regression modeling, knowledge of pricing and promotion strategy, and marketing ROIs helped drive strategic decisions and the growth of many Fortune 500 companies in the FMCG space. 

To complement his passion for dirt bikes and extreme sports, Wesley started a motorcycle blog where he found his fondness for SEO. His online magazine-styled website now attracts over 30,000 automotive enthusiasts each month. Wesley also runs a handful of other websites, which he uses to hone his SEO skills and generate leads for local service businesses in South Africa.

Today, he utilizes his data analytics prowess across diverse fields and clients like Yas Island, Dubai Festival City, Ferrari World, and Al Huzaifa Furniture. Wesley also spearheads our internship program, helping develop the next generation of talented SEO specialists at SEO Sherpa.

The Fun

Wesley is our daredevil dirt biker Sherpa! He actually comes from a family of professional motorcycle racers.

No food is too fearsome for this one. Wesley has tried eating tarantula, alligator, camel and shark. He’s also sampled balut (Yes, the boiled fertilized duck egg, with a developing embryo inside! It’s a Philippine delicacy).

Grab a bite at McDonald’s with him on weekends – he’ll love it! And his signature drink on nights out is an Espresso Martini.

It’s not all adrenaline-pumping, high-octane action with Wesley. When he’s not blissfully savoring some much-valued solo time and private space, he’s outdoors appreciating a gorgeous sunset. 

Wesley dreams of exploring jungles and working to save animals. And if he had a superpower? He wants to be able to capture time (since you can never buy more of it). How awesome would it be to skip traffic or flight times!

What’s to come: Wesley aims to learn Spanish someday, or create and own a branded product or clothing line.
