About

As a highly qualified Technical Electronic Engineer, I have over 17 years’ experience in the ITC industry. My career has provided me with a strong combination of technical, commercial and customer-facing experience. My ability to understand the real business issues and the interpretation of commercial matters enables me to translate these into real time plans. I conceptualise solutions and manage large scale projects in large, highly diversified ITC companies. As a General Manager with strong operational experience, I am able to understand the business implications of my strategic interventions and then manage these projects across diverse groups of highly technical functions. I have worked in highly complex environments such as MTN and Vodacom and have proven my ability to manage large programmes with technical complexities ensuring that the business units remain profitable and operationally efficient. My communication skills and ability to manage diversity in these environments has provided me with the opportunity to win the Women in Red award for leadership in 2016.
