Our Team

JOSÉ RODRIGUES: FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR

José obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering from Wits University in 1988. During his academic tenure, he commenced his career in the construction industry. His interest in property development was ignited a few years later, leading to the construction and sale of his first house in 1995. This initial success paved the way for subsequent residential developments in Dainfern and Sandton. José then progressed to more ambitious endeavors, culminating in 2004 with Vantage Property’s inaugural commercial development in Linbro Business Park. This milestone was swiftly followed by the development of Waterstone Park and other high-end residential and office projects across the country.

CRISTINA RODRIGUES: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Cristina completed her diploma in Business Management at Wits Tech in 1986, joined a bank for a short period but her entrepreneurial spirit and tenacity quickly had her identifying business opportunities in sub Saharan Africa. In 1989 she started a trading business specialising in telecommunications and electrical utility products which remains her main focus to date. Her business acumen and vast experience make her an invaluable member of the Vantage board.

NELSON RODRIGUES: NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Nelson Rodrigues graduated as an Agri-engineer and obtained a masters in economics in Belgium. His ability to simplify complex tasks and his aptitude for commerce saw him heading up the commercial departments of various companies until joining Vantage in 2003 where he remains as a non-executive director but member of the investment committee.
