With over 20 years of experience in the natural food industry, I am passionate about creating and delivering healthy and sustainable products that meet the needs and preferences of consumers. As the Managing Director at Nu Leaf Brands, I lead a team of professionals who are committed to developing and marketing high-quality, organic, and plant-based foods and beverages. I oversee the operations, sales, finance, and marketing functions, and work closely with our suppliers, distributors, and partners to ensure the highest standards of quality, safety, and ethics. I also leverage my skills in new business development, sales management, and negotiation to identify and pursue new opportunities for growth and expansion in the local and international markets. As the Executive Chairman at Baobab Fruit Farm, I support the vision and mission of the company, which is to produce fair trade bananas from South Africa. I provide strategic guidance and direction to the board and the management, and ensure that the company adheres to the best practices of governance, sustainability, and social responsibility. I also foster strong relationships with our stakeholders, local farmers,investors, customers, and regulators, and promote the benefits and value of our products and our brand. I am motivated by the challenge and satisfaction of creating positive impact and value for the environment, the society, and the economy through my work. I am always eager to learn new skills, explore new ideas, and collaborate with diverse and talented people who share my passion and vision. I believe that I can bring my expertise, experience, and enthusiasm to any organization that values innovation, excellence, and integrity.
