Personal Particulars

To excel to the best of my ability in the field of business analysis, projects, logistics and supply chain management and to continue to learn as much as I can for as long as I can in order to reach and maintain growing levels of competence in management practices and operational activities.To occupy an executive / director role in a multi-national corporate company locally or internationally

I have had rapid career growth over the last 5 years.

I have recently returned from 2 year a mission in Zambia to implement a large scale project in Chingola, just South of the DRC border.

The project encompassed a green-fields construction project, employment of 90+ people, supplier evaluation and selection and all other operational project management activities to ensure a smooth start up in line with customer requirements. The scope = 800,000 tons of cargo (copper cathode, lime and sulphur) inbound and outbound with a total investment of 9mil Euro and a monthly P&L exceeding 1.5mil USD.

I managed 20 direct reports and delivered the project in time and under budget.

I am back in SA since March 2015 and was promoted to Director of Programme Management at SDV.

I had enhanced the department, but I felt like I had lost some momentum in my career and was looking for a new challenge where I can put all my skills to work. I have since joined Premier foods as their Supply Chain Engineer working on all internal optimization and improvement projects. I recently moved a 4,000sqm facility from Epping to Saltriver which required a full feasibility study, stock level re-work and storage concept design. I just completed the design of an MRP tool for use in the S&OP process and I am also heavily involved in a new network and cost to serve analysis project.

I can add a lot of value from both a theoretical and practical point of view, am not afraid to travel and will strive to take my new organization to new heights. I have excellent end-to-end supply chain exposure.

I have a passion for people and saving money and looking to any task, problem or potential solution from a strategic perspective. I will be an asset with many years of experience, from designing bespoke spreadsheets in my office to sweating on the shop floor to ensure objectives and targets are met and exceeded.

Through my work experience, I have learnt that:

o Working under pressure comes with any job and how one deals with it, greatly determines the level of success one can expect

o One must be able to work in teams and maintain excellent relationships – essential to achieving any common goal and / or objective

While still being aware of individual goals & targets that add value to the organization as a whole

Major achievements:

I performed well academically all through my life and have had the opportunity to visit and work in different countries and learn from different cultures.I have also been able to be exposed to many different verticals –from Automotive, FMCG, to mining and oil and gas.

My biggest achievement professionally is setting up a 9 million EURO, 70,000sqm logistics hub with more 90 employees in Chingola Zambia. I did this in the required timeline and under budget constraints and learnt how to manage a large workforce, at times under immense pressure.

Training Summary

I was sent to Vienna, Austria in 2008 to receive training on a company tool that calculates and summarizes warehouse requirements and budgets. The

tool requires in-depth understanding of logistic principles as well as the ability to manipulate its functions in order to achieve the most optimum solution in

terms of space, manpower and costs.

I attended a solutions engineering workshop in Paris, France in 2010 and Hong Kong in 2011 – further enhancing my experience in solution design.
