What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my project management skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on strategic growth and operational efficiency.

I am a strategic project delivery and business manager with over 9 years of experience leading complex initiatives and scaling direct B2B operations across the EMEA region. I successfully built HPE’s Direct Business unit from the ground up into a multimillion-dollar engine, managing over 50 enterprise clients, including industry giants like Apple and Amazon.

My expertise lies in executing cross-functional projects from planning through delivery, overseeing logistics, pricing, and systems integration. I have a proven ability to translate business needs into scalable IT improvements that have measurable impacts. My leadership in launching direct operations in Africa in 2022 and delivering a 15% average improvement in gross margin showcases my commitment to driving business growth and operational excellence.
