Pierre de Wet

Pierre de Wet started his career at Anglo American Corporation’s head office as a scholarship holder. When an opportunity arose at stockbroking firm Huysamer Stals, Pierre was lured away and spent the next three years at the JSE gaining valuable experience in both the equity and capital markets. In 1992, he joined District Securities Bank in the capital market division, trading and broking capital market instruments, before co-founding PBT Group in 1998.
During the reverse listing of PBT Group via the Wooltru cash shell in June 2010, Pierre was appointed as CEO of the listed entity. He held this position until August 2012 when Prescient Holdings listed on the JSE via a reverse listing into PBT Group. He remained CEO of PBT Group during this time. Pierre was again appointed as the CEO of PBT Group after Prescient Holdings was disposed of and the listed entity became PBT Group once more.
