Koos Bekker and Hans Hawinkels are the men behind the Naspers deal to acquire a 46.5% stake in Tencent for $33 million, which proved to be one of the best venture capital deals in history.

He identified Tencent, which operated the instant messaging platform QQ, and had a meeting with its founder, Ma Huateng.

Since leaving Naspers, Hawinkels has held executive positions at Truworths International, Times Media Group, and Wyzetalk.
