Sanet Geldenhuys

Well qualified and has extensive working experience in the wildlife economy, of which ecotourism is one part of the value chain. Able to strategise, plan, report, do and check - and ultimately to ensure a sustainable business / operations. Although my resume is more from a management consultant perspective, I know what a tourist wants (am well travelled) which experience can be translated into the GM role advertised. I have consulted for various resorts and lodges, for instance, Namibia Wildlife Resorts with their business and operational planning and helped them to turn-around their business in a short period of time. Due to years of experience I will be able to add value to expand your brand and to manage satisfactory service delivery to your guests.
