I consult on a range of projects in the mining industry, supporting the export of internationally sourced products to our global mining network. I also consulted on and implemented a range of customized wireless solutions and introduced IoT to the customer base with a range of papers based on site analysis and most-suitable technical solutions. In brief, this period involved:- - Site analysis and customer debriefing- Writing a complete architectural construct of customer needs- Developing technical specifications from the customer requirements specification- Costing solutions and recommending best-fit- Partnering with NRG experts on procurement, installation and commissioning

This business was added to my portfolio in Western Australia alongside the Geophysics business. Sales were grown rapidly in the face of stiff an increasing competition. This was achieved to a great extent by instilling confidence in our capacity to provide high quality service ad support.

Perth, Australia

After successfully starting and growing GroundProbe's nascent African business unit to high growth and sustainable success, I was requested to move to Perth in Australia to manage a new GroundProbe acquisition - a Geophysics company.This is a project-driven business with a high fixed-cost base that requires a high-quality projects pipeline. During this period, the company's revenue was grown by more than 30% by leveraging our contacts network in the mining industry and growing that network rapidly into regional government and infrastructure providers.

Johannesburg Area, South Africa

GroundProbe was a fairly new venture with no representation in Africa or Europe in 2010. They needed a business manager who would be able to grow the business to a dominant and sustainable position.Initially, I traveled extensively throughout sub-Saharan Africa, introducing the Australian product.In parallel, I built the local support network of technicians and the logistics capability.This team grew to a position of high respect in the industry. To quote one customer in Tanzania: "You guys provide a support level that make sour other suppliers look silly..."We grew the customer base into Open Cast mines in:--Botswana-Tanzania-Zambia-Namibia- DRC- Sierra LeoneWe dealt with prestige mining houses such as Anglo Platinum, Sishen Iron Ore and many others,I transitioned this company through the GFC without losses and without laying off staff - even in times of stress, our customers retained our staff on site.In addition we introduced new peripheral products designed for us by local engineering companies, always guided by solid system engineering and cost targets. These were also very profitable.By the time I left for Australia, the company was in an almost unassailable position in Africa.

Johannesburg Area, South Africa

In this role I created and drove a team of 50 engineers across the disciplines of RF, DSP, Embedded systems and software. In the process I:-- Installed an in - depth systems engineering process- Installed world-class configuration and control systems- Brought to market the world's first wheelmark-qualified AIS transponder.- Exported the product to European and US manufacturers.This company was established to provide leading edge professional transponder equipment and software to Europe, the USA and Africa. The development facility was comprised of some 50 persons and utilized a multi-disciplinary team of RF, DSP , mechanical , electronics, production engineers and applications programmers. This business produced the world's first globally certified marine AIS transponder. Systems were sold to European and American companies with whom we formed strong partnerships.During my final year at MDS I was made an alternate director.

Designed, produced and deployed Africa's first GSM based vehicle tracking systems. I was responsible for a team of 25 engineers and designed these systems for customers with high-value cargoes that required high security - tobacco and fuel mainly.GSM Tracking had not yet been implemented in South Africa as the networks were still fairly new. Under my guidance, a range of ground-breaking software was implemented and we placed our servers at the MTN facility.

As developer and later system engineer I was responsible for the development of military communications systems and products, particularly in advanced RF on avionic frequency hoppers, DSSS etc. Familiarity and application with DSP, RF, Embedded Processing and Software Engineering were all requirements during this phase of my career. this is where I developed my skills as a systems engineer.
