I'm a seasoned supply chain professional with 22 years of experience in various roles in supply chain. I'm currently a Dealer Planning Manager for Toyota South Africa Motors. My undergrad is in industrial engineering and I've also attained the two APICS qualifications CPIM & CSCP and have an MBA from GIBS. I've been an active member of SAPICS and APICS/ASCM since 2007. This combination of experience, skills and education enable me to have lived experience of what supply chain professionals are about. Besides being a SAPICS director I've also served on the SAPICS conference speaker selection committee for the past three years. I also serve as a director for Hope Worldwide South Africa, an NPO involved in early childhood development programs. I’m a husband, dad, brother and an avid amateur runner and cyclist.
