With over 20 years of multi-cultural experience in the Building Materials and Mining sectors, I have a demonstrated track record of increasing production volumes and sales volumes, dramatically improving the health & safety environment, turning around operations, and boosting productivity. I have full professional proficiency in French.As Industrial Performance Director for Cote D’Ivoire & Guinea at LafargeHolcim, I played an instrumental role in launching a new $25M ball mill which more than doubled capacity at the Abidjan plant. I also implemented a new maintenance management system that reduced our annual costs €2.2M across the operation and boosted EBITDA 20% across the entire region. Leading a major capacity expansion project for LafargeHolcim, I acquired a 32-acre site in eastern Uganda possessing critical access to transportation, water, and power. I negotiated the purchase price with community leaders while ensuring confidentiality of the location to avert a costly bidding war with our competitor. I also successfully lobbied local electrical utilities as well as the country’s energy regulator to invest €4M to supply power to the new plant.As Plant Manager of Bonabéri Plant at Lafarge Cameroon, I increased peak production volumes by 18%, reduced the safety severity rate by 63%, slashed average customer deliver time by 66%, and boosted operating margins by 12%.And as Director of Talent Management for Sub-Saharan Africa, I mobilised 50+ technicians and engineers for the commissioning and startup of a new production line at our Lichtenburg plant in South Africa, achieving 97% up-time within just 5 months.► AREAS OF EXPERTISE♦ People Leadership & Management ♦ Strategic Planning & Execution ♦ Operations Management Initiatives ♦ Process Improvement ♦ Financial Performance Understanding ♦ Project Lifecycle Management ♦ Team Mobilisation & Development ♦ Safety Management Systems ♦ Organisational Development ♦ Market and Competitor Research ♦ Change Leadership ♦ Business Development ♦ Budgeting & Cost Control ♦ Key Stakeholders Engagement ♦ Staffing & Recruitment ♦ Training & Development► OPEN TO NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIESPlease feel free to contact me at +260.976.729.122 or daniel_kilembe@yahoo.co.uk.
