Message

At Momentum, I provide remote administrative support to financial advisors, handling customer queries, new applications, client follow-ups and data capture.

I founded ELLA Academy of Design and grew it into a self-sufficient production studio and B2B/B2C enterprise. I developed its B2B segment into a core revenue driver, supplying independent boutiques across South Africa.

At U & G Fabrics, I managed more than 3,000 active COD customer accounts and daily control and reconciliation. I also led a legacy-balance clean-up, investigating historic outstanding balances and orders released without payment.

At Eskom, I became an SAP super user during the SAP changeover and delivered SAP Finance training locally and nationally. My experience also includes managing accounts payable and running payroll at Eskom and P.A.G. Staffing Services.
