From the energy of New York City to the dynamic pulse of Johannesburg, my career journey has spanned continents, industries, and businesses of all sizes. After more than 20 years leading finance and operations across sectors—from healthcare with GeBBS to commercial property insights at Real Capital Analytics, and even the iconic sparkle of Zambelli Fireworks—I made the exciting transition into aviation and became a commercial pilot.

Throughout every chapter, one thing has remained constant: a passion for operational excellence, teamwork, and creating meaningful experiences for the people around me. Whether in the boardroom or the cockpit, I’m driven by continuous growth, discipline, and helping others succeed.
