PROFILE
I am a multi skilled individual who has spent the last decade working in various industries such
as marketing, industrial manufacturing, information technology, FMGC, FMCH and construction.
Over the years I held various management and technical roles where I demonstrated my
leadership skills by being a team player and a leader to reach and exceed set targets, increase
sales and acquire new business.
I also have a proven track record in establishing and maintaining business relationships,
generating new business and successfully managing different kinds of projects.
An untimely retrenchment and and my passion for construction saw me spend the past year and
half exploring my entrepreneurial strengths by spearheading a new business within the
construction industry.
I hold an IMM Diploma in Marketing (NQF level 6) and am ready to explore new opportunities in
a managerial role where I can contribute strategically to the growth and success of your
company.
