Held accounting, finance and managerial roles since completing studies at the Rand Afrikaans University (South Africa) in 1999.
I am a full member of the South African institute of Chartered Accountants and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and New Zealand.
My foray in the commercial world commenced in the automotive industry where I along with two other partners founded The V8 Shoppe.
In 2009, an opportunity arose for me to successfully exit the business and immigrate to Australia with my young family. Upon arriving in Brisbane, I commenced work in a finance role at Sun Engineering, later moving to Protech Group, then starting Trilogy Life and Trilogy Cycles in Noosa.
I have recently closed Trilogy Cycles noting a downturn in the economy and supply chain issues.
I am looking to move back into a commercial role bringing my business acumen and financial skillset to the organisation.
