What I'm looking for

I'm looking to energize a sales pipeline, build trusted partnerships, and close high-value B2B energy or technology opportunities. I value high-trust business development, strong commercial logic, team leadership, and environments where I can open markets and create sustainable growth.

At Solarvest, I’ve built an R40M pipeline across residential, commercial, and industrial solar while delivering turnkey off-grid, hybrid, and grid-tied solutions. I combine system scoping, savings analysis, ROI modelling, and finance partnerships to help clients make confident energy decisions.

Across Sosimple Energy, CNBM SA, Terawatt Solar, and regional sales leadership roles, I’ve grown B2B pipelines, opened markets, led teams, and closed strategic accounts in energy, technology, manufacturing, distribution, and hospitality. I create sustainable growth by aligning commercial logic with human trust—from CFO conversations to distributor partnerships.
