South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I'm leading freight forwarding at TFS, overseeing end-to-end international logistics, carrier relationships, compliance, budgets, and strategic growth. I use KPIs and operational data to build scalable, efficient freight solutions.
Previously at Takealot.com, I led International Inbound, Superbalist Inbound, and Supply Chain Compliance teams, building import processes, managing 3PL performance, leading courier tenders, and strengthening supply-chain resilience. Across Indigo Brands and Clicks Group, I improved imported-product service levels, inventory availability, forecasting, replenishment, and planning across distribution centres and more than 700 stores.
I'm passionate about supply chain optimization as a way to reduce operating costs and create competitive advantage, while building capable teams with a continuous-growth mindset.
