What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can run multi-unit operations, drive revenue through sales and asset monetization, and improve efficiency through process discipline—while collaborating across departments to deliver measurable results in dynamic environments.

I’m a results-driven General Manager with over 20 years of cross-sector leadership experience across agribusiness, hospitality, manufacturing, telecommunications, and ICT. I’ve built businesses from the ground up, leading multi-unit operations across five business units and steering property sales, leasing, and asset monetization to grow capital and recurring revenue.

I’m known for proactive, disciplined leadership and an empathetic approach to teams in fast-changing environments. From mechanizing farm production to coordinating vendors and contractors, I deliver operational efficiency and budget discipline—and I also use AI-assisted tools like ChatGPT, Canva, and Perplexity to streamline planning, reporting, and client communication.
