About

ICT Business Professional with 28+ years Award Winning Sales, Customer Services and Executive Mgt, within International Corporate environment. Excellent Written and Oral Communication.

I have extensive experience in ICT Solution Sales, Customer Services, Executive Management up to Corporate Board Level at CEO Level.

My expertise spans Business Needs Analysis, Solution Design, Proposal Writing, Consortium Partnering, Responses to Public Tenders, Strategic Selling, Contract Negotiation, Project Implementation, Business Planning, Strategic Planning, including Workshop Facilitation, Business Process Improvement, Training and Franchise Partnering.

My career highlights included being chosen for the International Group CEO's Sales Person of the Year Award - Twice - for achieving the highest Sales Quota in an International Region Covering Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, featuring multi-million (US%) Sales Contracts.

I am well traveled including parts of Asia, Europe, West Indies as well as East, Central and Southern Africa, which exposed me to diverse cultures and enhancing my versatility in dealing with the different peoples of the world.

I have been married for over 25 years to one wife, Mary, and we have two adult children, Dexter a 25 year old University graduate with a BSc Electrical and Electronic Engineering Degree and our 22 year old daughter Dionne, who is also a University graduate with a Diploma in Nursing.

AT this juncture in my professional career, I believe that I am now able to take on assignment which have a significant travel component, since my children in particular are now out of school and University. This gives me great flexibility in the nature of opportunities that I can avail myself to.

My long term aspirations include developing a personal portfolio in excess of a million US$, not only to create a safe and secure future, but also to avail to myself the opportunity to travel, as well as give back to society.

Work Terms

I will be working out of Harare, Zimbabwe, unless the assignment dictates mobility, which as indicated will not be a problem. To that end I will work 8 - 12 hours a day. Hourly rates will typically be negotiable depending on the nature, complexity and duration of the assignment, but in line with industry norms and benchmarks.

Any work done away from home base will of necessity require the prior coverage of expenses, not limited to but including accommodation and subsistence, communications (including telephones and internet access), travel (including car hire or procurement where indicated), per diem / out of pocket and materials and sundry expenses where these are an integral component of fulfilling the assignment.

Where assistants are required, be it for Field Research, or Administrative functions, these will be pre-agreed and appropriate rates, budgets and timelines set and an audit trail of expenses tracked to ensure full disclosure and transparency.

I am therefore happy to work both within structured functional Teams, as well as individually against clearly set Goals and Objectives.

Long-term assignments will be subject to specific terms, in order to allow for the coverage of monthly retainers and / or on-going operating expenses, or on a percentage of work completed basis, as each Project may require.
