    I love working with small tech businesses, bringing in structure and processes (if necessary) and most of all, taking the pressure off of you (CEO/Founder/Business Owner) so that you can focus on growing the business. My strengths lie in being able to build relationships with your customer base, making sure that you are known for great customer service which in turn helps with your sales. I wear many hats in my role from running the sales process, to analysing customers needs and requirements, to sales demos, to managing teams and processes, creating marketing content, to taking over your business weekly/monthly reporting and conducting customer interviews amongst others. I understand that working in an Agile manner is important in this changing world. My tech background comes from working in the IT consulting industry for 12 years, as a project manager for many different types of clients, projects, industries and technologies. This gives me the knowledge to bridge the gap between customers, tech teams, marketing and finance, amongst others. I understand the weaknesses in technology which gives me great foresight when making decisions and talking to customers. I am thoughtful and patient, making sure that I fully understand a problem before making a decision and acting on it. This comes across strongly to your customers who will appreciate a well thought out answer in a timely manner. And lastly, you will learn quickly that I am reliable. This tends to be the biggest deciding factor in whether you can take time off as a business owner. Knowing that there is someone holding the reigns while you are away gives you that peace of mind. And being able to have a break is important for a business to grow.

    Obtaining a qualification in Economics had broadened my horizons to the world of modern business. The progression of my education had instilled princilpes about contemporary business and business management that has left a lasting impression on me and my career goals. Immediately after completing this qualification I began to delve into the world of economic modeling by creating a small project in which I was to provide a consulting service that would embrace art and the art market as an investment opportunity for individuals and businesses. At this point I came across the importance of gaining technological advantages by utilizing programs that could perform analysis using programs such as R and Python. My choice was to engage more with the Python programming language. Since then I have been increasingly exposed to economic issues that are affecting economies and businesses. I've found that I am most interested in the way that technology haas become an intergral part of streamlining business operations and the leading way to control business performance management. I would say that I am knowledgable of the different array of technologies available to the business fraternity and I would like to continue to engage with these technologies as I increasingly interact with players in teh market. My focus of late has been in the ecoinformatics and sustainability space where I have done research that has lead me to interests such as; smart manufacturing. I intend to gain the knowledge to be able to contribute to these markets and desire to keep learning within the fraternity. IoT 4.0 Smart Manufacturing 5.0 Software Development Business Analytics & Economic and Financial Modeling Sustainability & The Circular Economy The internet of things because this is an integral tool to drive the digital transformation and protect businesses from an broad set of markets from new challenges that face contemporary economies.

    I am incredibly passionate about what I do with my time, no matter the industry that this takes place. I believe that a career is an expression of yourself and your values - and I intend to always elevate myself and my team to produce the highest quality work. I pride myself in being the hardest worker in the room. I'm looking for a company that will challenge me while ensuring that I'm making a valuable and tangible impact on people's lives. The way that I engage with my teams, clients and manage products is rooted in my worldview which is pushing against the debilitating conditioning of societal norms. I believe that unlearning inhibiting habits, behaviours and insecurities enables people to bring their best version of themselves to the team which results in great quality in work. My team-management approach is the key differentiator and the reason that I believe I can bring magic into your product team. My method includes experimenting with different personalities, a strong focus on releasing limiting ideas and beliefs and assisting in character transformation which I have seen produces a whole new level of commitment and excitement for one's contribution to the team / product environment. I am a qualified transformational life coach which I believe gives me a deeper understanding of how to motivate and inspire people - which injects a new level of power and energy into the team. I have had a wide variety of industry experience over my career which has also given me an holistic understanding of customer behaviours in different service or product environments and this is key to tackling problems without bias or conditioning. To be great problem solvers we can not be too restricted by our beliefs but open to learning. Agile methodologies are also the centre of my management style. Both in product development and team development. Constant learning and iteration will always be the most progressive way to evolve in a radically evolving environment. And last, but not least, my foundation to any product or service offering is consumer-focused. Businesses that prioritise the customer experience and relationship will always be ahead of the curve and that is where I want to be. Most prominent projects I've worked on/in: Best Buy Pilot project Bose online hearing Screener World Health Organisation mobile app - hearWHO MTN Developer Portal Chenosis API Marketplace Spar Home delivery app and Many more..
