Core Profession:Business Management
Differentiator:Information Systems for mining industry & Turnaround Expert
Short Profile

He has a BCom (Accounting) Hons and an MBL (Unisa), but it is the particular career path that he had chosen that gives him credibility as a management consultant. His path to understanding the management of businesses and the oft complex underlying operations came through management accounting, where he was focused on the need to report timeously, accurately, and meaningfully to support effective decision-making. In the mining industry, where he was Information Systems Manager (Group) for a total of eleven years for two mining groups, it is imperative to optimise decision support – sub-optimal decisions are very costly. Soft-spoken and with humility, he speaks with authority in great detail and with enthusiasm on the achievements that he has led in that role. Going well beyond the support of financial management processes, commercial functions, payroll and the like, as is commonly done, the information systems that he was responsible for extended to monitoring, optimising, and facilitating highly technical operations.

While he may still lack the credentials of having independently led a complete turnaround of a distressed company, he has been a key member of turnaround teams and has written a manual on the subject. Beginning with the formulation of strategy, his knowledge, insight, and commitment – and readiness to be part of a team – are not in doubt.
