Michael Jason Botha Email and Phone Number
I am a loyal, enthusiastic, self-driven individual who has enjoyed and grown in various leadership roles in the retail, tourism, and logistics industries.I have 5 years’ experience in planning and procuring of products and their quantities, that was directed by seasonal and lifestyle parameters for both fresh products and apparel. Furthermore, I have 6 years’ experience in logistics, finances, and senior management in a company that I founded in 2015, focusing on sales growth, general management, fleet management and client relations.I have always enjoyed analysis, numerical tasks and the idea of accountancy. I now have the opportunity to study and pursue my dream of a career in finance. I am excited at the prospect of finance and its functions, and learning on this new adventure.I am very much a family man, valuing relationships and those close to me. I have an undeniable love for sports, enjoy music and exploring the outdoors. I have recently started a new hobby in wildlife photography and believe there is nothing better than a classic South African ''braai'' (barbecue).
