With hands-on experience at companies like Hatch, Fluor, Anglo American, Debswana, and De Beers, I’ve built strong expertise in Project Management and Controls. My work with global Oil and Gas leaders such as Shell, Total, Sasol, and BP further shaped my leadership perspective.

Committed to continuous learning, I value both theoretical knowledge and practical application. Since 2014, I’ve collaborated with experienced colleagues to mentor and coach Project Team Members, helping to advance the profession through education.
