Hanré Becker

Hanré brings over 20 years of executive leadership experience across New Zealand and South Africa, having held CEO, COO and CFO roles in businesses ranging from startups to enterprises with revenues of up to $350 million. His background spans strategy, performance improvement, mergers and acquisitions and operational excellence.

Having personally bought, scaled and sold his own businesses - including one that grew to four times its original value - Hanré understands the journey from both sides of the table. He knows the emotional and financial complexities involved in selling something you’ve built and brings that empathy into every engagement.

At Kauri Business Sales, Hanré specialises in confidential business sales and appraisals across the manufacturing, engineering, and industrial sectors. He combines commercial insight with a practical, hands-on approach to help owners prepare strategically, market effectively and negotiate premium outcomes.

Hanré is known for his calm, considered style and his ability to guide owners through complex decisions with clarity and confidence. He takes pride in helping clients realise the full value of their enterprise and achieve smooth, successful transitions.

Outside of work, Hanré enjoys spending time with his family, exploring the outdoors, and keeping up with developments in business and technology. He welcomes confidential conversations with owners considering a sale or simply wanting to understand their business’s market position.
