VIKASH NARSAI CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER VNA VNA is an acclaimed leading consultant in Southern Africa's built environment. We are intent on building a legacy and pride ourselves on our understanding of the industries in Southern Africa. Geared towards connecting African communities, we deliver superior and innovative engineering solutions for the benefit of the clients and communities we serve – both urban and rural.
BUILDING A BRAND, BUILDING A LEGACY DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY Our pioneering project methods and processes have made immeasurable contributions to our business success over our 25-year history. These successes have been built on our strategic approach to doing things differently in terms of our business, products and services. Setting VNA apart, in a highly competitive industry sector, is our long-held collaborative approach to "big picture" planning, coupled with the vigour to improve quality and customer value in a simple manner, while delivering professionally on both local and international planes. From a personal perspective and giving consideration to many pinnacle moments in the past quarter century, my biggest career achievement is a combination of making the life-changing decision to journey forward as an entrepreneur and my conclusion of the ARRB Systems acquisition from the Australian Road Research Board. I believe the latter represents not only a major accolade in terms of my own business achievements, but also for South Africa, demonstrating this country's continuing capacity and capability to capitalise on and lead global business opportunities.
KEY MILESTONE ACHIEVEMENTS Our pioneering project methods and processes have contributed immeasurably to the business success we have enjoyed during our 25-year history to date, and to the realisation of many notable achievement milestones.

25 YEARS OF SUCCESS
