Perspectives from Management Excellence Programme graduates
At De Heus, leadership is not defined by a title, but by the mindset and commitment to drive meaningful progress. That’s why we invest in people. Our Management Excellence Programme (MEP) is one of the ways we shape the next generation of leaders across our global organisation. Launched in 2023, MEP has already welcomed 38 participants from 14 business units. The programme brings together emerging leaders for a transformative learning experience that equips them with the tools, self-awareness, and strategic insights to lead with clarity, empathy, and impact. MEP is more than a leadership course — it’s a journey of personal and professional growth. Through peer learning, expert coaching, and real-world assignments, participants are encouraged to reflect deeply, challenge assumptions, and lead from a broader perspective.

August Lingnau: Regional Sales Manager and National Dairy Product Manager
“I’ve always felt at home in the outdoors,” says August Lingnau, Regional Sales Manager for KwaZulu-Natal and National Dairy Product Manager at De Heus South Africa. Growing up in Phalaborwa, a small town in South Africa’s Limpopo province, he developed a deep appreciation for the land and the role of agriculture. This passion led him to pursue a BSc in Animal Science at the University of Pretoria, followed by a Master’s degree in Ruminant Nutrition at Stellenbosch University. Collaborating with the Outeniqua Research Farm, he worked under industry experts like Professors Robin Meeske and Christiaan Cruywagen. “Their passion for dairy nutrition was contagious, and it pushed me to explore the field in greater depth,” August says.
