Affiliations and Achievements:

Focusing mainly on producing results, I believe in a comprehensive approach - becoming a part of my client's business and knowing as much about their operations and challenges as possible. I support clients in meeting their needs and most importantly, achieving their goals in improving bottom line results and to sustain the competitive advantage. I support them to improve processes, performance and profit. Depending on the complexity of an assignment .From management consultancy, technical and advisory services, business consultancy or small business site setup, i serve big corporations and SMEs. Through a process of interaction with management, short and long-term business strategy and planning is developed and evaluated. Besides training and curriculum development, I mentor organizations/ groups and walk them through the strategic process. The result of this process is a plan and approach that can help ensure that the group strategy can be turned into actions and accountabilities.
