Welcome to Team Aquila
AQUILA is the Latin word for EAGLE - a symbol of strength, vision, courage, and rising above life's challenges. In Scripture, the eagle represents those who place their trust in God and soar to greater heights.
At Team Aquila, we are more than a community - we are a family of faith-driven individuals, committed to faith, purpose, perspective, and success. We believe that with God's guidance, ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.
Together we: • Encourage and uplift one another • Grow spiritually, personally, and financially • Walk in faith, purpose and integrity • Inspire others through leadership & service • Rise above life's challenges & embrace God's calling
We replaced spreadsheets, group chats, and stitched-together tools with one obsidian-glass platform — so our team can grow with clarity instead of chaos.
We measure what shifts trajectory, not what fills a chart.
Private depth and shared motion in the same room.
Made for hard work, accountability, transparency, and integrity.
Our Team
Meet the leadership and teams behind Team Aquila.

Howzit team, I'm Eddie, the Team Aquila mascot. I keep the morale up around here and I show everyone what to do and where to go. Come along, let me introduce you to the people who lead this family.
This is our leadership and the five teams that make up our community. Real people, doing real work, every single day for you.
First up, Danie Oelofse. Danie is our team leader. He carries the vision for Team Aquila and keeps every one of us pointed in the same direction.
Next, Rina Vermeulen. Rina is management, technical and admin. If the platform is running smoothly and your details are in order, chances are Rina had a hand in it.
Then we have Carol Venter. Carol is management, recruiting and marketing. She's the one growing our community and getting our message out there.
Phoenix Arrelis, head of department technical and development. Phoenix builds the platform you're standing on right now and keeps it sharp.
Leandra van der Berg, head of department administration. Leandra keeps the paperwork, the records and the day-to-day admin running like clockwork.
Unine Marais, head of department recruiting and social media. Unine brings new people in and keeps our community loud and proud online.
And Tiffany Elliott, head of department liaison and training. Tiffany makes sure every member is trained, supported and never left behind.
Now our community runs in five teams. Team Aquila, led by Tiffany Elliott. Phoenix Aquila, led by Paul Thompson. Dare to Dream, led by Ivan Hecksher. The Deaf Team, led by Sandra Fennings. And Prosperity Collective, led by Angela James.
Five teams, one family, all climbing together. One leadership, five teams, one family. Focus, teamwork, growth, integrity and excellence. Let's soar!
