What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead commercially impactful technology initiatives spanning private 5G, IoT, cybersecurity, digital infrastructure, and enterprise IT, where I can build partnerships and take solutions from proposal through operational deployment.

At Singular, I manage R18M+ in strategic technology projects across mining, telecoms, and infrastructure, converting proposals into operational deployments across Southern Africa.

I design and deliver Private 5G, IoT, FWA broadband, smart mining, digital twin, and predictive-maintenance solutions for enterprise and government clients. I also built partnerships with vendors including Vodafone IoT.nxt, HPE, Huawei, Nokia, Celona, and Aviat, growing the partner ecosystem by 40%.

Through Front Edge Technology, I lead managed IT services, IT audits, cybersecurity consulting, and the development of the proprietary CTRLE administration and operations platform. My technical background includes secure networks, vulnerability management, Windows Server, Active Directory, enterprise application development, and SIEM monitoring.

I'm equally comfortable in the boardroom and the server room, bringing commercial structure to complex technology deployments from proposal through operational go-live.
