Birger Hillaert

POYNTING EU: Sales Account Manager

I am grateful for this opportunity working for this fine brand and I hope to build the brand-awareness together with the rest of the family.

Maybe a little about myself (you can of course always google me 😉).

I am almost 43 years old (depending on the evening before I can feel like a 70-year-old, but I can also have the childish enthusiasm of a 5-year-old getting a new toy). My family exists of 3 children (16,14 and 7 boy-girl-boy) and a wife (Sarah).

I am a fan of “what you see is what you get” and “direct communication” as it is the fastest way to a great solution. I really like the word TEAM as it stands for something I hold dear: Together Everyone Achieves More. So never be afraid to ask me something as I will do the same thing to you.

I love film and music and of course I like good food accompanied by some liquids 😉. I started playing soccer at 6 and my body only gave up at 34. But I am kind of an omni-sport guy. I now play ping-pong; I have a racing bike and I like to snowboard.

I’m Francisca Cateto, 31 years old and I live in Portugal.

I have a degree, master and a post-graduation all focused on Marketing Management. I am an Experienced Marketing Strategist with a demonstrated history of 11 years working in the B2B communication industry.

John Hoeven

POYNTING EU: Business Development Manager

Hi I`m John Hoeven.  I joined POYNTING on October 1st as Business Development Manager Europe and I’m happy to be here. I am working in the Telecommunication and Satellite communication industry for many years (early ‘00`s).

My passion is consumer electronics and the Maritime industry, from small tugboat with 4-5 people onboard up to big dredging/ pipe layers with over 500 people onboard.

Can you imagine? Weeks / months from home, back to basic internet speeds, when we all had the modem with the weird sounds… Fascinating isn`t it?

It`s my goal to help seafarers with decent connectivity, and we at POYNTING are here to help.

I`m looking forward to meet up with you.

Savanah Taitz

Hi, I am Savannah Taitz I’m the newly appointed Industrial Designer at POYNTING Antennas. This year I have been studying my honours in Industrial Design at the University of Johannesburg. I had previously worked as an Industrial Design intern at an Industrial Design firm in Bryanston.

I joined POYNTING because I felt like this company will help me grow more as a designer. The past two months working with POYNTING has been adventurous and exciting as it has opened my mind up to many developments.

I also have a massive passion for cars and automotive design. In my free time I do commission drawings of supercars for people that own them. I have always been interested in cars, and fixing them, since I was a young girl. I also have a passion for karate and tennis, and I am a self-taught makeup artist who has worked in the beauty industry.

I am very excited and grateful to have been given this opportunity. I look forward to all the new endeavours at POYNTING Antennas.

Shaunel Walker

POYNTING Antennas: R&D RF Engineer

My name is Shaunel Walker and during 2019 I completed my MEng degree (Cum Laude) as a collaboration between UP and TUT, where I focused on different radiometer topology simulations, using an RF system simulator.

Up until recently I was busy with my PhD in electronic engineering at the University of Pretoria (UP). My PhD research was about a broadband cooled radio astronomy receiver; however, I have decided to put my PhD on-hold and is really excited for the wonderful RF Engineering opportunity that I have received from POYNTING Antennas.

I recently got married to my wonderful wife Gillian and I am so grateful for all the support that she always gives me. I am a highly motivated person; I like learning new things and solving engineering problems. I like different sports such as cricket, rugby, tennis, golf, swimming, volleyball, and soccer. I also have a keen interest in radio astronomy and my favorite planet in our solar system is Jupiter.

Growing up as a young boy with only dreams; I never would have thought that I would be in the fortunate position that I am in today. I still want to learn so much more to establish myself as a great RF engineer on a global scale.

POYNTING Antennas is a global leader in antenna design and manufacturing. The company also has a clear vision, and I will always do my best to contribute to the current and future success of this great company. I am super happy to be part of this amazing family and is looking forward to all the great work that we will continue to deliver to our customers and beyond.
