What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can own project or investment finance, ensure regulatory and risk compliance, and drive data-driven decisions—ideally in development, energy, or green value-chain work with strong stakeholder collaboration.

I’m a detail-oriented finance professional with 8 years of experience in development finance, built on a strong foundation in economics and information systems. I hold a Master’s in Development Finance from UCT GSB, which sharpened how I connect financial analysis to development outcomes and investment viability.

In my current role as a Project Financial Controller at Rent-A-Drum Namibia, I oversee the financial aspects of integrated waste management projects—especially across mining and energy industries. I ensure projects remain financially viable, compliant with environmental regulations, and aligned with strategic goals, while contributing significantly to revenue growth and long-term sustainability.

Previously, at GIZ Namibia as a Technical Advisor, I supported the implementation of sustainable industrial and energy infrastructure initiatives within regulatory frameworks. I collaborated with public and private stakeholders to strengthen green value chains, drafted technical investment documents, and contributed to feasibility and performance analysis for energy-related projects.

Earlier, as a Financial Consultant in Investment Management and Administration at Preferred Management Services, I managed a multimillion-dollar institutional property investment portfolio mandated under an Alternative Assets portfolio. I conducted financial feasibility assessments and risk analysis, prepared board-level reporting, developed investment reports and dashboards for trustees and investment committees, and maintained regulatory compliance through governance and risk frameworks.
