Rindie Cloete

I've led commercial growth and operations across Africa's energy, infrastructure, logistics and industrial sectors, including founding KI Energy and scaling it to more than R300 million annual turnover in its first year. At Panamax Oil, I support African expansion through commercial strategy, strategic partnerships and cross-border business development.

I've negotiated fuel supply agreements with BP and Shell, built a wholesale aviation fuel business, secured exclusive beverage agreements with AB InBev, and established operational systems that improve margins, supply chain efficiency and customer outcomes. I work closely with founders, executive teams, multinational companies and government stakeholders to turn strategy into measurable growth.
