@refilwetswai
I coordinate complex projects and build learner, athlete, and programme performance.
What I'm looking for
I'm coordinating cloud node deployments across African regions at Touchnet Telecommunications, including South African Government connectivity implementation. I manage planning, schedules, project trackers, risks, dependencies, reporting and cross-functional stakeholder coordination.
I've also delivered student-centred teaching at the University of the Witwatersrand and led physical education, netball and athletics programmes at Auckland Park Preparatory School. My background combines Health Systems Sciences, academic mentoring, provincial netball coaching, curriculum delivery and evidence-informed operational improvement.
