Bio
I am involved in various companies with diverse interests ranging from aviation to technology and fashion.
Mid 2003 till end 2004
I worked for MegaPro Marketing (Pty) Ltd. I started in 2003 as a National Sales & Marketing Executive. My portfolio included national clients, rights holders and new development work, including the government and parastatals.
One of my core focus areas was developing commercial strategies for new sporting codes such as Basketball South Africa and the SA Games.
Previously
I traveled extensively through Africa, Europe, Australia and America for two and a half years and did a variety of jobs, ranging from chef at a five star lodge to river guide to being a member of a solo expedition traversing the length of the Zambezi River.
I worked as a bodyguard in London, a guide in Australia, managing a waterfront lodge to training bartenders in New York.
Before traveling I was involved in the liquor industry where I started as a Brand Development Manager for Stellenbosch Farmer's Wineries and ended with Jim Beam Brands, where I launched the Original Sourz in South Africa amongst other exciting projects.
Personal Hobbies
I am a very competitive person who thrives on challenges and sports where you have to compete against yourself and other team members. I also enjoy team sports and the camaraderie you build within a successful team environment.
I am very goal orientated and willing to work hard for something I want and believe in. I am able to motivate my staff and co-workers to perform above their capabilities and have excellent networking and communication skills.
I am a people's person with a head for numbers, always striving to achieve my realisable goals, and better them, while keeping my team members motivated and informed.
My hobbies range from photography to adventure sports such as kayaking and mountain biking, painting and reading of biographies, music and a keen interest in global events.
I like to go out in a social environment and meet people and am very good at networking and setting people at ease, in both a social and professional environment.
