Transportation / Logistics
Services provided
I am a senior executive with extensive experience in the supply chain, operations, e-commerce, strategic business development and management. I have a proven track record of generating increased revenue, enhancing the bottom line and reducing costs and growing business units through effective business strategies resulting in long-term sustainable growth. My accomplishments and achievements indicate the ability to optimize, synergize and re-engineer processes and methodologies. I integrate and execute lean methodology and the theory of constraints successfully into, end- to- end value chain propositions and solutions. This was done by co-designing various facilities, and the optimization and re-engineering of several processes. In the process compliance adherence with, or the implementation, was achieved through quality management systems, for example ISO 9000, ISO 18000, SANS, SAPHRA, GMP, and the SABS and the global FDA.
I've been able to achieve this as CE, MD, GM and Operations Executive in previous positions in various end to end value chains trading globally, in RSA and across numerous African countries. During the past 25 years my Supply Chain experience has been in several supply chains including, Manufacturing and production, Procurement, Shipping, Freight Forwarding and Clearing, Transport, Contract Logistics, Imports and Exports, Warehousing Operations, Transport Solutions and networks, E-Commerce Solutions and Cross Border expansion into African territories. Extensive experience, as subject matter expert (SME) and management consultant were obtained, working with various experts in the industry, executing turn around strategies, and re-engineering various supply chain networks. My greatest attributes, is most definitely my diversity, adaptability and diversified exposure. Combined with that comes broad industry knowledge and exposure to various ERP, MRP, WMS and TMS systems.
My academic background, including a MBA degree from the University of the Free State, strengthens my understanding of all the major decision making issues varying from the in-depth financial analysis of ratios and leadership of people to attain the business objectives in a sustainable manner. I have completed a doctorate in business leadership (DBL), through the business school of Unisa (SBL) which focused on corporate governance and interlocking business networks. I am currently busy with a PHD at the University of Pretoria.
The diverse scope of my exposure in several industries for example, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics, FMCG, Household goods, Automotive, Security Healthcare and Life Sciences. gives me the great combination of experience, insight and skills in understanding the different principles needed to successfully lead and manage many types of operations, functions or businesses. I have extensive breadth and depth of experience across the supply chain and business in general from the buy to the sell side. I believe the retail and supply chain industries would benefit most from my skillset and experience where I can add significant value a cross both, multiple functional areas and management in any business.
I recently lectured for 6 months in entrepreneurship, business management and mercantile law. I designed and developed a 12 module, 3-month program for advanced program management.
I am fluent in both English and Afrikaans and had Sotho and German as secondary school subjects.
