As a seasoned account lead – manager, director and group director – I am deadline driven, highly motivated and focused on problem solving. In my experience, the things that clients and colleagues value most is honesty with integrity. I am outspoken and honest, but always with the goal of achieving client goals, on time and within budget. In my career, this has involved closely managing the detail, while keeping an eye on the bigger picture. It has also required creative problem solving on my part – when Plan A falls by the wayside as it often does, I am adept at finding solutions and overcoming obstacles to deliver. My account leadership skills have evolved from working on different brands (key accounts) at a variety of marketing and advertising agencies. Clients I have worked with include: Nedbank, MTN, Mercedes Benz Commercial Vehicles, Adcock Critical Care, the Independent Development Corporation (IDC), SA Tourism, Brand SA, the Road Accident Fund, SA Breweries, MNet and Mzansi Magic.
