Seasoned ICT Consultant and Business EntrepreneurMore than just an IT enthusiast, Craven Coetzee is a seasoned Information Communication Technology (ICT) consultant with over three decades of experience in the field. Before bringing his expertise to New Zealand, Craven successfully ran Kondura Technologies CC (please excuse that website as it is not our founder’s original design and it has not been maintained)., one of the most prominent ICT consulting service companies in Port Elizabeth, South Africa for over two decades.
Craven’s experience is comprehensive, having worked extensively with large corporate clients, including major legal and accounting firms. Additionally, he has managed and bolstered IT for retail and manufacturing businesses, many of whom were international distributors.
Through the years, Craven has amassed a wealth of skills, specializing in IT infrastructure management, compliance, policy-setting, privacy measures, disaster recovery, and security protocols. The diversity of his skill set is a testament to his commitment to excellence.
A Fresh Start in New ZealandIn January 2019, Craven moved to New Zealand and joined a small local tech support business. While it was a significant shift from running a large enterprise, he brought a transformative skill set to this mom-and-pop operation. Over the years, he stayed committed to staying current, investing countless hours in upskilling, research, and online courses.
As Steve Wozniak once said, “Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.”
After securing his New Zealand residency on January 26, 2022, Craven wasted no time in regaining his entrepreneurial spirit. He founded IT NEAR U LIMITED on March 2, 2022, to create bespoke IT solutions for clients in the Greater Wellington Region.
For Craven, quick fixes are not the solution. He delves deep into understanding the root cause of any issue and aims to implement lasting solutions. This ethos is ingrained in our team, ensuring consistent and reliable service for our clients.
