RAAK is Wessel Janse van Rensburg

“Trusted adviser and thought partner for CEOs, policy and strategy teams navigating digital regulation and geopolitical risk in the EU.”

At RAAK, I unite hands-on tech-policy research with incisive digital communications craft.

Trained in law, a former tech platform product manager, bank strategic advisor, entrepreneur and journalist, I translate code, regulation, and business realities into actionable advantage.

Deep sector fluency in finance, platforms, media — honed through founding roles in two start-ups—keeps my guidance anchored in pragmatism.

Leaders at the highest level trust me for swift clarity and actionable insights.
