Show profile Hide profileI am a highly qualified marketing, brand and communications professional with a solid fifteen years plus experience in communications, marketing and brand management in the luxury retail, training, finance and ICT sectors. I have good global experience.
I have been contracting since 2011 but am looking for a position, ideally permanent, which is both a challenge and a career in which I can build on and utilise my broad spectrum of marketing and communications management experience.
From January 2013 - March 2014, I consulted/contracted to the Virgin Global Brand Team on Global and National Communications and Brand Projects in the Virgin Group. I am doing some freelance work and consulting while looking for a permanent position. Prior to my work with the Virgin Group, I completed a fixed term contract at Old Mutual as a Communications Manager for the IT division, with particular focus on change communications and communications for their global infrastructure transformation projects. Previous roles have included consulting and facilitating courses in marketing, communications and customer relationship management and Communications Manager for T-Systems South Africa, South Africa's biggest ICT outsourcer specialising in the finance and insurance industries. I also held the positions for Marketing and Communications Manager for DaimlerChrysler (Mercedes-Benz) South Africa and Honda South Africa in the Western Cape, and therefore have excellent experience in marketing and communications management in the luxury retail sector. I lived in London for three years from 1998-2000, where I was fortunate to gain some excellent international experience working at a very high global level.
I have a degree in Industrial and Organisational Psychology and Personnel Management.
I am a highly qualified marketing, brand and communications professional with over fifteen years' experience in communications, marketing and brand management in the luxury retail, training, finance and ICT sectors. I have solid global and UK work experience. I am dynamic, driven, pro-active and self-motivated with high energy and enthusiasm levels. I am creative, strategic and a big picture thinker, skilled both at creating strategies and implementing and measuring them. I am a strong communicator, eloquent and have advanced writing and speaking skills. I am numerate and good at working with figures and financials. I am organised with strong problem-solving and analytical capabilities.
Integrity is the core value in my life. I am a detail-focused and never accept mediocre work; I like to measure results. I love a challenge, am a quick learner and work well under pressure and in stressful circumstances. I work well in a team and equally well on my own and unsupervised. I like to have accountability in my role and believe in nurturing a culture of learning and accountability. I am a good people manager, coach and motivator. Communication and relationship-building is my forte; I have excellent written and verbal communication skills and a powerful strength of mine has been in building and cultivating relationships with stakeholders in all areas business. I am organised and systems-orientated. I have huge vision.
