With 13+ years driving digital transformation across top South African enterprises, I align tech with strategy to optimize logistics, planning, and performance. This post shares how I deliver measurable value through data, systems, and cross-functional leadership.

As a Senior Industrial Engineer and Digital Transformation Leader, I’ve spent over a decade transforming how organizations operate; aligning technology with business strategy to deliver measurable value.
My journey began in mining operations at Exxaro, where I implemented operational excellence frameworks and improved OEE by 9%. That experience taught me the power of frontline engagement and data-driven performance tracking.
At Tiger Brands, I shifted focus to logistics analytics, developing predictive cost models and optimizing distribution networks. We achieved a 14% reduction in cost-to-serve and uncovered R6.5 million in annual savings; clear proof that smart data unlocks strategic decisions.
RCL Foods was a turning point. Leading digital transformation across 7 warehouses and 5 transport hubs, I integrated NetSuite and 3PL systems to boost SLA compliance to 98%. We saved R3.2 million annually and reduced delivery lead time by 18%. More than systems, it was about empowering cross-functional teams to deliver excellence.
At Sasol, I’ve had the privilege of shaping enterprise-wide digital strategy. As Product Owner and Transformation Lead, I’ve delivered scalable solutions for R2.5 billion in capital projects, improved reporting speed by 45%, and accelerated digital adoption by 40%. My work in integrated business planning (IBP) has enhanced forecast accuracy and decision-making across engineering, supply chain, and finance.
One of my biggest personal lessons has been learning to balance precision with agility. Leading large-scale transformation taught me that success isn’t just about technical execution; it’s about stakeholder alignment, change resilience, and continuous learning. I’ve grown into a more strategic communicator, a more empathetic leader, and a more adaptable problem-solver. These developments have shaped how I lead teams, manage complexity, and deliver impact in fast-paced environments.
What ties all this together? A relentless focus on aligning digital solutions with enterprise goals, fostering collaboration, and driving operational excellence. Whether through Power BI dashboards, SAP integrations, or agile delivery frameworks, I believe transformation is a team sport, and strategy is only as strong as its execution.
I’m also passionate about mentoring, building inclusive innovation hubs, and helping organizations become future-ready. Your perspectives on this topic are valuable; lets keep the dialogue going.
