What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a diligent Senior IT Project/Programme Manager with a proven track record of successfully leading diverse technology projects, ranging from R10 million to R200 million. My expertise lies in aligning business goals with technology solutions to drive process improvements and achieve competitive advantages. I excel in both Agile and Waterfall project management methodologies, ensuring that high-quality deliverables meet or exceed timeline and budgetary targets.

Throughout my career, I have established a consulting business in Project Management, contracting my services to various clients, including Alexander Forbes and Time Global. My leadership skills enable me to effectively communicate technical requirements to non-technical stakeholders, fostering collaboration across teams. I have managed large-scale initiatives, overseeing software development lifecycles and ensuring seamless integration of legacy systems with new platforms.

My experience at AWS and Clicks Group has honed my ability to manage complex projects in fast-paced environments. I am committed to continuous improvement and staying current with industry trends, which allows me to deliver exceptional results and drive organizational success.
