Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa
FMCG Leader | Driving Sales Growth & Team Excellence | National Award Winner | Pretoria, South Africa With 9+ years in fast-paced FMCG environments at Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa and PNS Group's Diageo Division, I'm passionate about turning regional strategies into measurable wins. As Field Operations Manager, I've led teams to top performance, earning National Rise Scholar of the Year (2024) and Top 3 Regional Performer (2025). From optimizing account plans to achieve 100% compliance and sales targets, to innovating point-of-purchase activities, I've consistently boosted brand visibility and revenue. My strengths? Strategic thinking, negotiation prowess, and building relationships that last—fueled by bilingual skills in English and Tswana, plus a deep understanding of South African market cultures. Currently wrapping up an Occupational Certificate in Office Supervision at Gordon Institute of Business Science (March 2026) to sharpen my leadership edge. Whether switching industries or scaling up, I'm all about collaborative growth. Let's connect if you're in sales, operations, or FMCG—open to chats on market trends, team building, or opportunities! #FMCG #SalesLeadership #RegionalManagement
