I hold a B Commerce (Honours) in Informatics (Information Systems) from the University of Pretoria and a Project Management certification from (Project Management Institute (PMI)®). My career started in consulting almost 7 years ago, whilst implementing systems solutions; the highly diverse nature of assignments assisted me to gain a broad exposure to the South African and the global IT industry. I have been fortunate to work in industries ranging from mining to beverages to utilities. I have helped in redesigning processes and IT systems.
I have performed roles as a SAP-MM, Functional Analyst, Business Analyst and assistant Project Manager
♦ Analytical Mindset ♦
I am very analytical by nature and I have the aptitude to visualize, articulate, and solve both complex and uncomplicated problems and concepts. I also have the ability to make decisions that are sensible and based on available information. In one example, I improved data quality for a project that enabled global stakeholders to dynamically analyze costs in interactive presentations (SAP’s BI dashboard) around Business Capabilities.
♦ Relationship Builder ♦
I am the very active Vice President of Education for the Rosebank Toastmasters Club. Since collaboration and information sharing are a natural extension of my personality, it is a great fit for my abilities. I aim to work together with talented individuals who want to break out of their shells and to reach new frontiers in their careers by being better communicators and to develop long-lasting relationships.
♦ My Personal Profile ♦
I am both passionate about my career and about my volunteer activities.
I am a member of both the Academic Advisory Committees in the Department of Informatics at UNISA (University of South Africa) and theTshwane University of Technology (TUT) . Our mandate is to advise the School of Computing on the compilation of curriculums to align with the latest development and technology in the IT industry.
