What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role where I can leverage my project management expertise to drive strategic initiatives and foster team collaboration.

As a Senior Project Manager with over 20 years of experience, I have successfully led numerous high-value projects across various sectors, including telecommunications and government. My expertise lies in managing ERP implementations, particularly with Oracle Cloud EPM, and establishing Project Management Offices (PMOs) to ensure project alignment with organizational goals.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels, manage risks, and coordinate resources to deliver projects on time and within budget. My leadership in managing multi-million Rand projects has not only enhanced operational efficiency but also contributed to significant cost savings for my clients.
