Hospitality & Business Operations Specialist improving revenue and customer experience through scalable operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Hospitality & Operations leader with 20+ years of experience managing teams and driving performance across multi-site environments in Zambia and the United Kingdom. I’ve consistently increased outlet revenue by 18–25% through operational restructuring, staff development, and customer experience optimisation.
What I’m known for is building the systems that make results repeatable: SOPs, stock control, administrative workflows, and service protocols that improve accountability. I’ve reduced stock losses by 30% and delivered staff training programmes that cut complaints by 50% while improving customer satisfaction.
From leading five retail outlets with up to 50 staff as a General Manager to streamlining farm operations and restaurant service, I focus on workflow improvement and remote & on-site execution. Currently, I support start-ups with operations design, SOPs, staff structures, and workflow optimisation to enable scalability and profitability.
