As the National Operations Manager at SA Harvest, I oversee the daily operations and logistics of a non-profit organization that rescues surplus food and delivers it to communities in need. I have more than 10 years of experience in the food and beverages industry, with a strong background in hospitality management, training, and event management.I am passionate about reducing food waste, alleviating hunger, and creating a more sustainable and equitable food system. I apply my skills and knowledge to manage a team of drivers, volunteers, and partners, coordinate food collection and distribution, ensure quality and safety standards, and plan and execute food-related events and campaigns. I also leverage my Microsoft Excel and customer service skills to monitor and report on the impact and performance of our operations, and to maintain positive relationships with donors, beneficiaries, and stakeholders.
