Über mich
MBA graduate ’22 with a Bachelors of Commerce (Accounting) degree and over 10 years management experience in the wood product industry (Retail/ Trade). My key capabilities include, operational process design, cost accounting, strategic planning, sales operations, CAPEX management, and financial planning & analysis. I take pride in the ability to problem solve and turn analytical analysis into value added decision-making. I had the joy of growing with a SME, starting at a low level position and working through the company as it grew into one of the leaders in the local industry, at which time i held a position in senior management, guiding our growth.
