    Welcome to my profile! With over 7 years of progressive experience in logistics, operations management, and sales, I bring a unique blend of operational expertise and sales acumen. My background includes hands-on experience managing complex logistics processes, coordinating with international clients, and leading teams to achieve business objectives. Currently, as the Operations Manager at MG-Atlantic, I manage operations related to container tracking, leasing, invoicing, and process optimization. I collaborate closely with sales, customer service, and suppliers to ensure operational excellence, profitability, and customer satisfaction. My role focuses on streamlining processes, driving operational improvements, and implementing best practices to meet client expectations. As a co-owner of the franchise takeaway business Jaffle Jim Gonubie, I handled end-to-end operations, including customer service, sales, inventory management, and local marketing. I also created content to promote the business, ensuring effective marketing strategies and strong client engagement. At Pindulo VDM, I was responsible for logistics management across a variety of transportation modes, including road haul, dry bulk, breakbulk, and container transport. I played a key role in route planning, dispatching, and managing the movement of goods, ensuring cost-efficient and safe transportation. My experience also extended to warehouse management, providing secure and customizable warehousing solutions. This role significantly enhanced my ability to optimize supply chains and ensure seamless logistics operations for large-scale projects. At VDS ONE LOGIX, I managed the delivery and collection of vehicles, both domestically in South Africa and cross-border. This experience helped me onboard new clients, expand business networks, and manage tasks such as scheduling collections, motivating repeat business, and managing invoicing. In my earlier experience at ANCA Poultry in South Africa, I was instrumental in overseeing the construction of a new truck depot. I managed the depot, ensuring smooth operations and efficient fleet management. I was promoted from Disinfection Supervisor to Fleet Controller, and eventually to Senior Fleet Manager, where I led logistics operations and ensured timely deliveries. This role gave me extensive experience in fleet management, route planning, and customer service, further enhancing my ability to manage large-scale logistics operations. I am proficient in office applications, including Microsoft Office Suite and Google Sheets, and have completed a Python beginners course. My expertise lies in optimizing supply chains, providing exceptional logistics services, and delivering cost-effective solutions for large cargo volumes across long distances.

    PERSONAL STATEMENT I am a highly driven individual, who is equally at home in practical hands-on environments as well as planning and administrative roles and enjoys the challenge of finding simple solutions to complex logistical problems. I am analytical and enjoy problem-solving and finding ways to streamline operations. Although I am at ease in both one on one and group environments, I also know when to employ some quiet contemplation while searching for solutions. I consider myself a task-oriented person but I do understand the need to balance that against the needs of others on my teams. My greatest joy comes from finding simple ways to get things done others have said would be impossible. I feel I will be a great addition to your team, and that I have exactly the skills, temperament, and experience to excel in a role and to grow within your team.
