I am a regional sales manager and national key account manager for one of the largest fasteners and hardware suppliers in Africa. I currently manage 5 sales reps and 5 merchandisers in my region. I also manage 3 National accounts – of which 2 are the company’s biggest accounts. I have traveled nationally and internationally to train sales reps and merchandisers on how to grow their sales. In the hardware industry, I have helped to launch and grow various brands that are now successful and consistently growing. I am currently studying brand development and management at Curtin University Australia. I was an area sales manager for one of the largest FMCG suppliers in Africa for 4 years before I got into hardware. As an ASM in the FMCG industry, I managed 46 field staff which includes merchandisers, field marketers, and hit team leaders. I was responsible for calling on over 140 outlets. I have also been involved in the growth and development of brands and new products in the industry. My passion is people. I enjoy training people in external sales, brand development, and giving career advice to young people who cannot afford to go study.
