Operations and supply chain director focused on compliance, efficiency, and export growth.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an operations, supply chain, and commodities leader with 15+ years of experience across logistics, procurement, forensic auditing, and international trade. I optimize supply chains, manage multi-million-rand infrastructure and export operations, and lead forensic procurement investigations in regulated environments—always balancing efficiency with compliance and transparency.
In my current role, I lead business operations by diagnosing root causes, aligning cross-functional teams, and driving process improvements that improve operational efficiency and cost control. Previously, as Director/General Manager at TMG Commodities, I established and scaled chrome trading and logistics, reducing logistics cycle times by 18% and lowering freight and handling costs through contract renegotiation and optimization, while strengthening supplier and client relationships through risk-based operating controls and governance.
