What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that leverages my strategic vision and operational expertise in a dynamic and innovative organization.

I am a seasoned business development and brand management professional with over 18 years of experience. My career has been marked by a proven track record of building strategic partnerships and driving brand growth initiatives. I have successfully expanded brand reach, negotiated lucrative contracts, and developed impactful marketing strategies that have significantly increased revenue and brand awareness.

As the Chief Operating Officer at Legend Tailor, I opened two new stores, achieving an 80% profit increase within four months. My leadership has fostered a collaborative environment, managing a diverse team of over 50 employees. I am passionate about creating memorable customer experiences and implementing operational strategies that enhance efficiency and productivity.

In my role as Founder and Managing Director of The Silhouettes, I established a thriving B2B service provider, securing multinational contracts and expanding our brand reach into South Africa. I am now seeking a challenging role where my strategic vision and operational expertise can contribute to the success of an innovative organization.
