I lead warehouse, inventory, and supply chain operations across high-value, mission-critical logistics environments.

At the SANDF School of Tactical Intelligence, I oversee daily warehouse and distribution operations for fuel, technical equipment, ammunition, and transit inventory. I use CALMIS to track stock, capture real-time usage, and produce executive reports while leading personnel and maintaining OHS compliance.

Across more than 20 years in SANDF logistics, I've managed inventory control, asset safeguarding, receiving, dispatching, supplier coordination, and resource distribution. I've authored SOPs and stock-take frameworks that reduced inventory discrepancies, and I bring operational experience from UNAMID in Darfur, the AU Task Force in Burundi, and border safeguarding operations.

I've been recognised for exceptional meritorious service, Best Logistics Member, and logistical execution under UNAMID. I hold a BA in Public Governance and communicate professionally in English and Afrikaans.
