What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead workplace technology and data-driven operational transformation—building scalable dashboards, integrating FM systems, and applying agentic AI/workflow automation to deliver measurable cost savings, reliability, and long-range facilities strategy.

I’m a facilities and workplace technology leader with 20+ years of experience transforming complex facilities, asset, and real estate data into actionable insights that improve operational performance, reliability, cost control, and strategic planning. I’m a trusted advisor to executive leadership, with deep expertise in enterprise dashboards, data integration, BI modeling, FM systems, and vendor performance management across multi-location portfolios.

As SVP Strategic Advisory Services (Workplace Technology) at EBUSINESS STRATEGIES (EBIZ), I lead large-scale SaaS implementations for TRIRIGA, Planon, Fracttal, and Maximo, delivering 100% alignment with client strategic goals. I also drive end-to-end project management for technology deployment and strategic sourcing, identifying >15% cost savings through process optimization and the introduction of advanced Agentic AI Assistant tools for workflow automation.

Earlier, I built operational excellence capabilities and managed deployments in challenging environments, emphasizing scope control and risk mitigation to hit delivery targets. I’ve mentored services partner management for enterprise FM outsourcing contracts valued at over $500 million, supported SAP implementation (Nike South Africa), and published on the “Critical Role of Data Governance in Corporate Real Estate.”
