What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior retail/operations role where I can lead teams, improve inventory and risk controls, drive profitability and implement process improvements in a collaborative, customer-focused environment.

I am a seasoned retail professional with more than eight years in store retail and management, complemented by area management, stocktake logistics and risk investigation experience. I lead teams, manage budgets and maintain high customer service standards.

I have managed and supervised operations across 125 stores in the Western Cape, led large-scale stocktakes, controlled supplier payments and equipment deployment, and compiled investigation reports for incidents such as employee theft and fraud. I have a strong track record in implementing process controls, conducting audits and supporting talent development through coaching and IDPs.

I am customer-focused, analytical and dependable, with strengths in planning, communication and problem solving. I bring disciplined operational governance, hands-on people management and a commitment to reducing losses and improving store profitability.
