What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles in supply chain or procurement where I can lead strategic sourcing, build resilient operations, mentor teams, and deliver cost-effective, compliant solutions.

I am a senior supply chain and procurement leader with over two decades of progressive experience across banking, utilities and telecommunications. I have led strategic sourcing, procurement transformation and logistics operations while developing governance, contract management and supplier relationship frameworks.

My track record includes directing supply chain strategy at the Central Bank of Eswatini, managing enterprise-wide sourcing and logistics at MTN Swaziland, and currently serving as General Manager - Support Services at Eswatini Electricity Company, where I lead planning, policy, risk and SHERQ compliance for the division.

I hold an MBA (UNISA SBL), CIPS qualifications, and project management certifications (PMBOK & PRINCE2). I am passionate about building resilient, cost-effective supply chains, coaching teams, and implementing systems-driven improvements that deliver measurable value.
