Momentum Metropolitan Namibia is pleased to announce the appointment of Joggie van Schalkwyk as regional manager within its Momentum Metropolitan retail business unit.

Van Schalkwyk joins the company from Old Mutual broker distribution, where he served as business support manager. He brings more than 15 years of experience in the financial services industry, with a career spanning direct sales, operational support, and functional leadership roles.

In his new role, van Schalkwyk will focus on driving regional performance, strengthening adviser support, and ensuring the customer remains at the centre of all interactions and decision-making. His extensive experience allows him to support teams holistically, enabling them to better serve and add value to all Momentum and Metropolitan clients.

“What motivates me most about this role is the opportunity to fulfil the promise we make to our clients and to add to a thriving culture,” he said.

Momentum Metropolitan welcomes van Schalkwyk to the team and looks forward to his contributions in enhancing the client experience, deepening trusted relationships, and facilitating sustainable growth across both the Momentum and Metropolitan brands.
