At Harmony Gold Mining, I lead Business Analysis, portfolio planning, and demand governance across approximately 50 concurrent initiatives with a portfolio value exceeding R300 million. I also act on behalf of the Head of Change Delivery, overseeing PMO, project management, process management, change management, training, governance, and delivery assurance.

Previously at IOT.NXT, I led Business Analysis for global enterprise IoT customer implementations and product development across America, Europe, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. I helped shape scalable solutions for critical infrastructure, telecommunications, smart buildings, remote monitoring, industrial IoT, and energy optimisation, including solutions supporting Eskom's load shedding operations.

My experience spans product ownership, business analysis, process engineering, systems analysis, project delivery, BPM development, and software development across FNB, Standard Bank, Nedbank, STANLIB, Cloudsmiths, Ovations, and Alexander Forbes. I build governance, delivery capability, and cross-functional alignment that turn strategic priorities into practical business outcomes.
