Safety and QHSE Leader driving ISO compliance, risk management, and a strong safety culture.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Safety and QHSE Leader with 7+ years of experience driving safety excellence, compliance, and risk management across manufacturing and agricultural sectors. I’m focused on turning audits into improvement, building trust through hazard visibility, and sustaining measurable safety performance.
In my current role as a Quality Supervisor, I lead ISO 9001 QMS implementation and continuous improvement, driving process optimization to reduce defects and improve efficiency. I also implement IWS systems to eliminate operational losses and strengthen material quality and risk controls across production.
Previously, as a Compliance & HSE Coordinator at FleurAfrica, I led enterprise-wide HSE and compliance programs and delivered tangible outcomes—reducing audit non-conformities by 20% and increasing hazard reporting by 100%. I delivered HSE training, managed contractor safety compliance, and supported ESG reporting and regulatory engagement while building a stronger safety culture.
Earlier, I implemented ISO 45001-aligned HSE systems at Flamingo Horticulture (K) Ltd and sustained compliance with HSE legislation and market standards. I also developed the initial HSE Management System for FleurAfrica and investigated incidents to identify corrective actions, supported by NEBOSH IGC and ISO auditor credentials. My professional ethos is simple: train people well, govern risks consistently, and make safety culture part of everyday operations.
