About

I have over 28 years of experience in the liquid packaging industry in Africa. Business development and customer relationship building is my forte. I hold an Advanced Professional Business Management Diploma from the Graduate School of Business Leadership (UNISA) and I hold an MBA from The Open University Business School UK. I believe in strong diverse teams, people training and development and continuous learning. Cash flow is paramount in any business, Product quality, affordability and customer service is no longer a USP but a given if a business want to remain relevant and survive the global chaos. The key to success is how quickly your organization can react to global change.
