What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead people-focused operations and complex programmes, improving workflows, performance visibility, and delivery outcomes through collaborative stakeholder engagement.

I've led multidisciplinary teams delivering complex digital health programmes across multiple provinces at HISP-SA, coordinating resources, resolving operational bottlenecks, and keeping concurrent projects on schedule.

I build executive dashboards, KPI reporting, governance documentation, and improved workflows that strengthen operational visibility, decision-making, and compliance. I've also partnered with government officials, development partners, technical specialists, and executive teams to align programme priorities.

My experience spans national health programmes at the National Department of Health, digital innovation initiatives at ACFEE, and monitoring and data analysis at Humana People to People South Africa. I'm motivated by efficient, people-focused operations that deliver measurable results.
