About

I am a highly driven and results-oriented sales and business development professional with over 20 years of experience in driving revenue growth, managing high-performing teams, and building strong client relationships. Throughout my career, I have worked across various industries, including automotive, retail, and logistics, consistently delivering outstanding sales results and transforming underperforming businesses into profitable ventures.

As a Regional Sales Manager, I have successfully led teams of over 50 employees across multiple locations, overseeing operations, optimizing inventory management, and implementing strategic sales initiatives. My ability to identify market opportunities, execute data-driven strategies, and enhance customer engagement has led to significant revenue growth, including increasing profitability by ZAR 1.2 million in just six months. I thrive in fast-paced environments, where adaptability, leadership, and problem-solving are essential.

Beyond leadership, my expertise extends to negotiation, client acquisition, and account management, enabling me to secure high-value contracts and expand business portfolios. At RMT Plastic & Packaging, I played a pivotal role in securing contracts worth ZAR 5 million, strengthening key client relationships, and driving business expansion. At TWT La Lucia, I turned a ZAR 500,000 loss into ZAR 800,000 in profit, proving my ability to analyze financial data and implement effective turnaround strategies.

Customer satisfaction is at the core of my approach. I have successfully trained and mentored teams to provide exceptional service, ensuring client retention and long-term business success. I take pride in coaching and mentoring sales professionals, empowering them to exceed targets and contribute to company growth.

I am deeply passionate about business development, innovation, and delivering high-impact sales strategies. My ability to network, negotiate, and close deals has positioned me as a valuable asset in every organization I’ve been a part of. Whether leading a team, securing major contracts, or implementing sales strategies, my focus remains on delivering measurable results and driving success.

I am now seeking an opportunity to bring my expertise to a dynamic organization where I can continue making a meaningful impact. With my strong background in sales, business development, and operational leadership, I am confident in my ability to contribute to any team’s success. I look forward to new challenges and opportunities to further expand my skills and drive business growth.
