What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and operational excellence, where I can lead teams and drive impactful projects.

I am an IT and operations leader with over a decade of experience in service management, business strategy, and personnel leadership. My career has been marked by a commitment to leveraging technology to enhance incident management and optimize processes. I have a passion for IoT and automation, which has driven me to improve efficiencies and reduce downtime in various organizations.

In my recent role as a Major Incident Manager at Logicalis ZA, I successfully led the resolution of over 200 major incidents, minimizing business disruption and ensuring accurate incident reporting. My experience also includes managing WAN service operations at NTT-Dimension Data, where I maintained a 99.9% uptime and oversaw vendor relations and project execution. I take pride in my ability to lead high-performing teams and foster strong stakeholder engagement.
