I wear two hats - HR and Learning. I’ve worked extensively in the manufacturing, mining, services and hospitality sectors. My key contributions have been in the domains of: *talent *learning *leadership *organisation I’m a result-oriented self-starter with: *communication / presentation skills *analytical / problem-solving skills *people / team management skills *coaching / mentoring skills I've got vast experience in HR systems and practices. I also have extensive experience in strategic planning and execution. I’ve headed - among others - a niche learning academy with a diverse menu of multi-format learning offerings for internal and external stakeholders. In 35+ years of working in HR and L&D, I’ve cast and moulded myself as a keen learner, a good mentor and a caring servant leader.
