Introduction
Hi there! 👋🏻
My name is Quintin Coetzee. It's a pleasure to e-meet you.
I'm a passionate People Operations (People & Culture / HR) Professional, based in my lovely home city of Cape Town, South Africa. 🌲
I'm the happiest and most fulfilled when I'm enabling others to do their best work. 🚀
I have over 7 years of full-time experience in People Ops, general operations, and administration (plus 2 years prior to that as an intern).
I also hold a Master's Degree in Business Science (MBSc) from
The University of Cape Town's School of Management Studies. 🎓
If you'd like to watch a video series that summarizes this website and more (including my career, skills, personality, and values), scroll further down this page for each embedded video, or watch it via the YouTube playlist here. 📹
If you're here to learn more about me as a person (i.e. my values, my personality, etc.), then this particular page will give you some great info! 😊
If you're here for detailed examples of my work in the People field, then this 'Google Sheet of Experience' I created will provide you with some great practical (situational) experience from my career thus far.
And if you'd like to learn more about what others think of me, as a person and in terms of working with me, you can do so by visiting my collection of written references. 💭
I thrive when I'm hiring great talent, building and enhancing processes, creating efficiencies within the People Operations function, and enhancing the employee experience as part of an awesome culture with strong values. 💪🏻
I'm driven by people, extremely passionate about my work, and constantly looking for opportunities to grow, both professionally and personally.
If you also work in the People & Culture space, work for a cool tech company here in Cape Town or elsewhere, or just want to network and chat about random things, please feel free to reach out to me! I'd be happy to organize a mutually convenient virtual meetup, or go grab a tea or coffee sometime at a pretty spot in this amazing city. ☕
Welcome to My Website! 😁

Career Summary & People Ops Experience 🗃️

My Values, Personality, Motivators, & Hobbies 😊✌🏻
This final video is extremely valuable in terms of learning more about me, so if you watch just one, watch this one!
It walks you through an overview of who I am as a person. I talk about my core values, my personality, my motivators, my interests, my loves, and my hobbies.
This will give you a really good sense of the kind of person I am, and what drives me in life. Short of meeting up with me in person, this is the best sense of me that you'll get.
