What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and values stakeholder engagement, offering opportunities for professional growth.

I am an Agile Project Management expert with over 7 years of experience across IT, construction, and consultancy sectors. My career has been marked by a commitment to delivering transformative project solutions that drive efficiency and foster impactful relationships. I have successfully led cross-functional teams, achieving significant efficiency gains and cost savings on multi-million-dollar projects.

At Kellerman ICT Consultants, I spearheaded the adoption of Agile methodologies, enhancing project timelines by 30% and maintaining 100% business continuity. My leadership in developing a School Management System app resulted in a 15% productivity increase, while my analytical skills helped reduce sprint delays by 25%. I am passionate about stakeholder engagement, having elevated client satisfaction by 20% through structured reporting and tailored solutions.

Throughout my career, I have directed numerous high-value projects, including a N$45M housing development that was delivered 45 days ahead of schedule. My ability to implement risk management systems and optimize resources has consistently resulted in substantial cost savings and operational efficiencies. I am dedicated to continuous improvement and am currently pursuing an MBA in Operations & Project Management to further enhance my expertise.
