I have garnered a vast combination of skills, knowledge, and experience in various industries since I joined the ranks of the workforce in 1986. Up until 2009 I had been exposed to mainly management roles within the financial industry (insurance), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and the Shipping industry (MAERSK Line/Safmarine) in which my analytical skills were honed. My experience in the Information and Communications Technology industry however, started with my employment as a Specialist: Service Level Management at the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) in 2009. It is within this role that I was introduced to the Centre for E-innovation within the Department of the Premier, Western Cape Government. I am confident that my unique combination of experience, skills and long track record stand me in good stead to be considered as a candidate. Prior to being employed by the Sizwe IT Group in 2018, I was recruited by the Branch: Centre for E-innovation, Western Cape Government, in 2012 as a Programme Manager. It is within this ambit that I gained exposure within the six (6) years up to 2018 , to most aspects of the Branch operations ranging from project management within various programmes, to the Supply Chain Management processes within the Department as well as the IT Service Continuity Management functions that are part of the Branch deliverables. Since joining Sizwe IT Group in 2018, I have been assigned to the Western Cape Government, Centre for E-Innovation as a Business Analyst and Program Manager and have been performing much the same role as I had been within the environment previously. I consider myself to be an assertive, hands-on manager with outstanding interpersonal, communication, negotiation and people management skills. Throughout my tenure as project manager and/or business analyst, I have shown proven ability to translate business needs into technology requirements that support business objectives, especially within the process of drafting business cases and bid specifications while also having experience in successfully managing IT projects, participation in vendor selection and implementation of services. I value acting as an advocate and a team player on management teams to promote collaborative working in the hope of achieving the business objectives. In addition, I am an effective communicator able to forge solid relationships at all levels

Is your business growing faster than your operations and client experience can keep up with? That gap is where I work. I'm Nicky Wilmot — an operations and customer success specialist with 26 years of experience running a fully remote business across South Africa, the UK, Europe, and the US. I didn't just manage operations for someone else; I built and sustained them from scratch, with no team to fall back on and clients who expected results. That background means I think differently from most people in this space. I don't wait to be told what's broken. I find it, fix it, and make sure it doesn't break again. What I do for clients: -Customer Success & Client Experience Onboarding new clients so they feel confident from day one, managing ongoing relationships so they stay, and resolving issues before they become problems. -Operations & Workflow Improvement Mapping and improving processes, building SOPs that actually get used, and integrating tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, CRM systems, and AI to reduce manual work and increase consistency. -Executive & Team Support Keeping leadership informed, priorities aligned, and day-to-day operations moving — without needing constant direction. -Global & Remote Collaboration I've worked across time zones and cultures for decades. Async communication, distributed teams, and international client management are simply how I work. A little about how I operate: I take ownership. If something is my responsibility, it gets done — and done properly. I've built client relationships that lasted years, not months, because I treat every account like it matters to my own business. Because it does. I'm available for remote contracts, fractional engagements, and project-based work. If you'd like to explore whether I'm the right fit, send me a message — I'm happy to have a no-pressure conversation about what you're working on.
