About

My work starts with a question most companies avoid: is this business model still fit for purpose? Over 20 years across specialised retail, textile, FMCG, and international markets, including Angola, I've developed a consistent pattern: enter an organisation, diagnose what's broken or underperforming, and redesign the structures and strategies that drive real margin and competitive advantage. Procurement and purchasing direction are my primary lever, but the goal is always business transformation. I apply Blue Ocean thinking to find differentiation where others see commoditisation. I use data, built from scratch when necessary through Power BI dashboards and analytical models, to make decisions visible and fast. And I source globally, with deep experience across Asia (China, India, Pakistan), to bring supply options that most local competitors simply don't have access to. My career has given me a genuine 360° view: from product development and sourcing in specialised retail and textiles, to commercial and business unit management across food and non food categories in large scale distribution. That breadth means I don't just optimise. I connect dots across the business that others miss. I work best where the challenge is real: markets under pressure, operations that need rethinking, or businesses ready to grow but not sure how. I deliver results fast, because diagnosis without execution is just consulting. If modern management is not based on intuition but on method, data, and leadership, then transformation is not a project. It's a discipline.
