SECURITY PROFESSIONAL
My professional experience spans a broad field succesfully fulfilling a variety of security-related management roles, ranging from CORPORATE Security Risk Management (EMAAR PROPERTIES PJSC), Hospitality (JUMEIRAH & HYATT), Operations (SECURITAS UAE, EMRILL SERVICES L.L.C, GENTUR SECURITY L.L.C, & GRAY SECURITY SERVICES), a MILITARY career as a Commissioned Officer (SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL DEFENCE FORCE) and last but definitely not least a PATENT-HOLDER awarded to me for a Protective Apparatus for a Vehicle (OCPROT (Pty Ltd).
My career aspirations comprise a stable yet challenging role with the opportunity to share experience acquired to create, implement and maintain a dynamic, sustainable, efficient and diverse security function within a forward thinking organization.
I am open to a reputable and people-focused multi-national organization that has and believes in consistent systems, processes and procedures with regards security and risk management.
In conjunction with the above, the organization should be conducive to and accepting of creativity in enhancing existing and new ways of work and simultaneously provide me with an inspiring and educational work environment.
