04:05 INTERVIEW

Between the Lines Anton van Heerden

Anton van Heerden is a South African entrepreneur and CEO of DNA Employer of Record (DNA EOR) - one of the first companies enabling South Africans to work for international companies while staying on home turf. He’s been in the payroll and HR space for more than 30 years (formerly as Executive Vice President of Sage Africa & Middle East). Anton’s career is deeply rooted in South Africa’s growth story. He built and led VIP Payroll, which was later acquired by Sage, where he led a multinational team before launching DNA EOR. His mission is to help South Africans access global opportunities safely, compliantly, and without having to leave home. Today, DNA employs over 500 South Africans who work for companies across the world, from the U.K. and the Netherlands to the U.S. and Andorra.
