PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

I am a self-driven and disciplined printing & marketing professional with 25 years’ experience managing my own successful printing company.

With a natural ability for understanding business, I am tenaciously goal-oriented with the ability to envision strategies/solutions and drive initiatives from concept through to execution. Being extremely organised with vast experience in the management of multi-levelled workloads and deadlines, pressure is my driver, and a challenge my greatest motivator.

Believing in and reinforcing the company’s brand and merging my excellent work ethic and creative skills with strategic alignment, are of prime importance to me. I am focused on providing meaningful branding and marketing input, steering organisations to success with my marketing strengths, and developing my brand management expertise.
