Starting with a strong accounting background, I spent the first part of my professional career growing from a trainee manager in the hotel industry to managing various successful hospitality establishments. I gained valuable Sales and Marketing knowledge and experience both in South Africa and internationally where I worked for various RCI resorts and clubs. Internationally I worked in Cabo San Lucas Mexico and Branson Missouri USA.

For many years I have been a freelance production manager, producer and promoter at SAEvents - which staged many successful events, concerts, promotions, exhibitions, conferences and weddings. Main areas of focus include the production of events for companies, clients and promoters, plus the creation, management and production of my own events incorporating extensive marketing & publicity campaigns. Recently I have been a sales portfolio advisor for First Leisure selling their various products at Magalies Park & Club Mykonos.

I am now looking to join a company on a permanent or subcontract basis where I can share my years of experience, sense of energy, passion and commitment in the events, sales, and hospitality or marketing fields. Position: Sales Portfolio Advisor

Since joining First Group I passed all the training for Flexi Club, Premier Private Resorts and Golf Resorts Club. I have also produced a steady stream of business with a decent closing percentage in a ever changing market selling their various products both onsite at Magalies Park, Club Mykonos and to corporates plus individuals in Gauteng and Cape Town.

The position gave me a good overall view of the group plus the challenges and opportunities of the tourism & hospitality industry in a rapidly changing and evolving market. Positions: Freelance Event Producer, Production Manager & Promoter I have produced a multitude of events and marketing campaigns for a diverse client base specializing in quality, up-market DJ events; club parties; brand launches; live music events, local/international concerts, events within the corporate field, brand activations, weddings and consumer events. I provided a turnkey service incorporating concept & design, build strategies, networking, partner sourcing, asset and budget management, supplier negotiations and client service.

Apart from client-based events, I also handled the management, marketing and production of my own events. Responsibilities include planning and executing events by creating and implementing the overall creative, partner, technical and logistical elements.

As promoter I also added value by increasing/sustaining revenue through the identification, pitching and implementation of new business opportunities.

Clients ranged from Corporates, Media Companies, Below-the-line Agencies, Marketing Companies, Advertising Agencies, Sponsors and Production Houses.
