Where 30 Years of Experience Converges
My expertise is not narrow — it spans the full intersection of programme delivery, operational leadership, procurement governance, and AI-enabled automation. Below are the core disciplines I bring to director-level roles.
Programme & Portfolio Management
PMP-certified leader of enterprise programmes and multi-million-rand portfolios. I design and run PMO functions from the ground up, establishing governance frameworks, OKR/KPI structures, resource demand models, and C-suite reporting cadences that make complex organisations manageable.
MVNO & Telecommunications
End-to-end MVNO programme delivery — from product roadmap and SIM provisioning through to regulatory compliance, billing system integration, and network operator coordination, with deep familiarity with the full MVNO lifecycle and telecoms operational environment.
SaaS Implementation & Enterprise Software
Full lifecycle SaaS and enterprise software implementation at scale, across SAP Retail, custom software platforms, and cloud-based solutions. From requirements through QA, UAT, deployment, and production support.
AI-Powered Automation & Internal SaaS Development
Hands-on development of AI-powered internal SaaS tools and workflow automation using Claude AI, VS Code, Supabase (PostgreSQL), and GitHub. I define requirements, architect solutions, and write code with AI assistance, replacing manual processes and building tools teams actually use.
This is an increasingly rare capability at director level: translating business problems directly into working technical solutions, without dependence on a development team for every iteration.
Procurement Leadership
Built and scaled Group Procurement functions from zero — designing operating models, governance frameworks, vendor SLA structures, and spend analytics systems.
Regulated iGaming Programme Delivery
Delivered regulated iGaming programmes across Bingo and Casino/Slots verticals for UK, European, and North American markets, navigating licensing, compliance, audits and release management across multiple simultaneous jurisdictions.
Remote & Distributed Team Leadership
7–10 years of sustained, fully remote executive leadership. I build distributed teams that deliver without physical co-location, establishing async governance models, virtual PMO operations, remote accountability frameworks, and cross-timezone stakeholder management at board and C-suite level.
Organisational Change & Digital Transformation
Enterprise-wide change management across technology, people, and process, from Agile transformation and SDLC modernisation to procurement digitalisation and AI adoption. I lead change at the intersection of strategy and delivery.

Compliance & Information Security Governance
I own compliance evidence and remediation across procurement, hardware/asset, and project management data, functioning as an information security control owner, not just an audit-support function. When issues surface during ISO/IEC 27001 audits, I'm accountable for closing them, not just documenting them.
