Our Team | Future Media

GARY STROEBEL

CEO

Gary brings over 25 years of media management experience to bear at Future Media and believes that radio is still the pulse of any economy.

Despite being a pencil jockey, he still gets a thrill when that red light in the studio flicks on…

CHRISTINE THOMPSON

CFO | HR Officer

She is the big-mama of the company. Although she is not literally ‘big’, she is the one that all would run to if the roof were on fire.

RICHARD THOMPSON

Technical Manager

He is the IT guy… what can we say – he is strange and quite and noting to contribute to this write up.

NICCI WILSON

Sales Manager

From a television background, Nicci found her calling in the radio industry in 2009 – she enjoys the execution of strategic elements of marketing, including development of effective campaigns and promotions, working in collaboration with strategic partners, as well as the in-house advertising & creative teams.

ELZETHE LOUW

Finance Manager

Though her chief ambition is to one day control the world, Elzethe keeps herself busy in the meantime managing Future Media’s finances.

JACQUELINE LOHMANN

Agency Sales Executive

Jacqueline comes from a hospitality background and fell into radio by chance. Jarret and Deon (our former Waking Crew) needed a stand in for their News, and she was on holiday in Namibia at the time, so that was her starting point!

She has had the privilege of witnessing Radiowave grow from strength to strength over 19 years and to now see the birth of the Future Media brand…

CHRISTINE VENTER

PRODUCTS & CAMPAIGNS
DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

Christine, aka “Mossie”, started at Radiowave in 2008, co-hosting the Waking Crew for nearly 7 years, and later moved on to become station manager. She now focuses on cross-brand activities on- and off-air. Her alternative title is ‘Chaos Co-Ordinator”.

DAVID BISHOP

NEWS EDITOR

David has nearly 20 years of experience in the radio industry, having worked as a presenter, marketing manager and news journalist. He now oversees the Future Media News team, running, growing, and transforming the department to ensure that every report is “Independent, Accurate, and On-Time”.

JUAN VORSTER

Station Manager, Radiowave

Juan has been working in the Namibian radio industry since 2003, starting as a news journalist, then a morning show presenter, and eventually the program manager when Fresh FM was launched in 2007. He has served as Fresh FM Station Manager from 2017 to mid-2020 and currently is the Station Manager of Radiowave.

DEON VAN RENSBURG

Station Manager, NOVA 103.5

Deon has been in radio since his university days when he “fell into” the medium quite by accident. That was such a long time ago that he is known a radio dinosaur.

In terms of the technical side of things, radio has changed rapidly – but in radio one thing remains the same – quality broadcasting is timeless and remains very popular (and that is what NOVA is all about)!

KAYCEE BUTSHE

Station Manager, FreshFM

Affectionately known to listeners as “Tha BigHomie”, Kaycee has 13 years experience as a radio personality. A student of the science of radio, he now takes the helm of one of the biggest urban brands in Namibia as station manager for Fresh FM.

SIMON MUNDANDALA

Station Manager, Omulunga Radio

Simon has been an Omulunga Radio Presenter for 17 years, and Station Manager for 6 years. His motto is believing in himself and challenging himself in everything he does.
