Summary of Employment History

Objective: To be employed where I can lead, develop, learn and grow while

being a productive asset to my employer.

I started my career as a trainee technician with CDM (pty) limited, a De

Beers diamond mine in Namibia, January 1985. Theoretical training was done

at the Cape Technicon in Cape Town (South Africa) t1 - t4) and in service

practical training at CDM. I attended various courses from basic

boilermaking to advanced electronic courses at various training centers. I

am registered with the South African engineering council as an engineering

technician.

I joined The INC Group Inc. in Cary, NC, USA as a SAP R/3

implementation/functional consultant. My job functions included:

preparation of implementation proposals for prospective SAP R/3 clients,

gap analysis, prototyping and demonstrations, business process

reengineering, training of client end users, training at SAP Academy,

implementation and customizing services, security profile development, user

support and go-live support, helpdesk representative.

I joined an international cement manufacturer as competence center lead for

SAP PM, SAP MM and SAP PS. My responsibility area covered all of the

manufacturing plants in the USA, Canada and Puerto Rico. During my

employment I was responsible for go-live support, system enhancements, full

implementation at two newly acquired plants, system upgrade, development of

training curriculum and training delivery.

In 2007 I decided to advance myself and joined Deloitte as a Senior

Specialist and did two full implementation at utilities companies. My role

in both was team lead and activities included requirements gathering,

workshop facilitation, documentation, configuration, testing, knowledge

transfer and training and support. The implementation methodology used was

Deloitte's industry print methodology.

I am currently employed by Clarkston Consulting. Clarkston serves mainly

clients in the Pharmaceutical and consumer products industries. I am a

Senior and responsibilities include implementation of SAP PM and SAP MM. I

occupied a lead role on two SAP implementations with Clarkston.

I am confident in dealing and working with people of all levels of

authority. I always try to do my best considering time, cost and safety

and when carrying authority I always try to be just and fair to all

concerned.
