As a Supply Chain Planner, I've dedicated myself to the art of orchestrating the intricate dance of supply chain processes across the full spectrum of industries, from primary to tertiary. This journey has been my crucible for gaining an in-depth understanding of business operations. With this knowledge, I've crafted strategies that not only optimize costs but also elevate the spirits of employees and cultivate enduring bonds with valued customers.

Before my current role, I had the privilege of serving as an Integrity Manager at Mr Price, where I spent three enriching years. During this time, I took on the mission of revitalizing and refining critical processes. Upholding the highest standards of integrity was non-negotiable for me, and I'm proud to say that I not only met but exceeded these standards, ensuring that trust, honesty, and ethical principles were at the core of everything we did.

My heart truly belongs to the world of collaborative teamwork. I thrive when working with diverse teams to streamline operations, and I've consistently found that the symphony of different perspectives and skills yields the most harmonious results. Solving complex problems is my forte, and my commitment to continuous skill development is unwavering.

My academic journey includes the attainment of a BCom Degree in Supply Chain and Management Logistics, a foundation upon which I've built my career. Additionally, I've earned certification as a Professional Retail Graduate, a testament to my dedication to excellence in the retail sector.

Looking ahead, I am excited to continue my journey of optimizing supply chain operations, fostering collaboration, and pushing the boundaries of my skills to deliver innovative solutions that drive success for both organizations and myself.

A highly dedicated and results-driven professional with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Supply Chain Management and Logistics from Mancosa. I bring with me over a decade of experience in the retail and logistics sectors, characterized by continuous growth and achievements.

This role enabled me to develop a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of retail operations and supply chain management.

Seeking to further enhance my expertise and embrace new challenges, I embarked on a transformative career move by joining Sequence Logistics as a Planning and Transport Manager.

This included procurement, shipping, customs clearance, border management, health and safety quality checks, transportation, storage, warehousing, maintenance, and distribution to stores and customers. My tenure at Sequence Logistics was marked by exceptional efficiency, strategic planning, and rigorous quality control, contributing significantly to the organization's success.

My commitment to excellence and drive for continuous improvement have been the cornerstones of my career.
