Regina is a seasoned business and supply chain professional with over 31 years of experience in driving operational excellence, strategic transformation, and sustainable growth. Her journey has been defined by a passion for innovation, collaboration, and integrity — values that underpin everything I do as a leader and mentor.

Throughout her over 22-year career in the Energy Sector, she has held senior leadership roles across Aviation, the Fuels Value Chain, and Castrol. These roles have allowed her to develop deep expertise in strategic planning, operations management, and process optimisation. She has led large-scale, complex operations — including 24/7 bulk hydrocarbon terminals — and successfully implemented initiatives that enhanced efficiency, safety, and overall business performance.

Beyond her corporate career, she is deeply committed to education, mentorship, and advancing the supply chain profession. As an Advisory Board Member for the University of South Africa’s Supply Chain Faculty, she helps align academic learning with industry needs. Her role as a SAPICS Board Director enables her to promote transformation, inclusivity, and innovation within the profession.

Being awarded the Fellowship (FCILT) from the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport represents a milestone in her professional journey and reaffirms her commitment to leadership, continuous learning, and making a meaningful impact.

Her work and leadership have also been internationally recognised through her inclusion in the G20 EMPOWER Alliance Best Practices Playbook 2025. This global publication captures impactful, scalable initiatives that advance women’s economic empowerment and leadership across G20 economies. Being profiled reflects not only personal achievement but also the tangible influence of her advocacy and leadership in shaping inclusive economic participation and informing policy-aligned best practice at a global level.

Regina’s passion for empowerment extends beyond supply chain leadership. As the G100 Country Chair for Female CEOs & Wealth Creation, she works at the intersection of policy, business, and community to advance women’s economic empowerment and representation in leadership. These platforms enable meaningful engagement with policymakers, business leaders, and institutions to drive measurable outcomes for women across industries.

Regina has been appointed as a Mentor for the C-Suite Women in Energy Empowerment Programme, facilitated by the Department of Electricity and Energy (DEE), GIZ, and African Women in Energy and Power (AWEaP). This initiative plays a critical role in advancing women into executive leadership within the energy sector, and I look forward to contributing my experience in leadership, strategy, and transformation to support the next generation of women leaders.

In addition, Regina has moderated and facilitated high-level global forums and dialogues on critical supply chain and economic themes, including Future-Ready Africa, intra- and extra-continental trade, industrial competitiveness, and the Just Energy Transition. These platforms enable robust, future-focused conversations between policymakers, industry leaders, and practitioners, bridging strategy, execution, and impact.

Balancing a demanding professional career while pursuing academic excellence remains one of her proudest achievements. Regina strives to lead with authenticity, courage, and purpose—encouraging others to embrace diversity, pursue excellence, and lead with integrity. Regina’s overarching goal is to create lasting impact
