ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
At Zero Degrees Investments, I lead end-to-end heavy-truck operations across trade corridors linking South African ports with Zimbabwe, Zambia, and the DRC. I direct fleet strategy, driver management, HR oversight, and the operational systems behind reliable cross-border freight.
I build teams, controls, KPI dashboards, and compliance frameworks for complex, high-risk operations. My work has included managing regulatory risk at Chirundu, Beit Bridge, and Kasumbalesa, resolving cross-border legal matters, banking 250+ workers, and reducing border dwell times by 50%.
Across agriculture, manufacturing, and logistics, I've led HR functions, managed 600+ contracts, and represented employers in industrial disputes up to Zimbabwe's Supreme Court. I bring a Master's in Human Resources Management, labour-law grounding, and a focus on aligning people strategy with business performance.
