Strategic Category Manager & Business Consultant | Proofreading, SEO, Shopify, Translation
I am an accomplished Category Manager and Commodities Buyer with over 15 years of corporate experience in the retail, FMCG, and e‑commerce sectors. I hold a Diploma in Marketing from Cape Peninsula University of Technology South Africa, at the Spar Group Southern Africa, I managed commodity categories for nearly two decades, leading supplier negotiations, strategic sourcing, demand planning, and inventory control to consistently exceed KPIs in profitability, sales growth, and market share. I successfully navigated supply chain disruptions during COVID‑19 by leveraging alternative procurement channels and safeguarding stock availability in high‑volume environments. As the owner‑manager of a supermarket, I gained firsthand entrepreneurial insight into customer engagement, operational efficiency, and sales optimization — equipping me with a perspective that bridges corporate leadership and small business realities.
Today, I leverage this expertise to deliver freelance services that combine corporate‑level professionalism with digital adaptability. I provide proofreading and editing for precise communication, Shopify store optimization to drive conversions, SEO blog writing and articles to strengthen online visibility, and translation services to support global communication. I also offer business consultation, advising clients on operational improvements, digital growth strategies, and sustainable practices.
My values are rooted in integrity, collaboration, and measurable performance, and I believe in building long‑term partnerships that foster mutual growth. Beyond work, I am passionate about sport, which has instilled discipline, resilience, and teamwork — qualities I bring into every project. Whether supporting corporations, guiding startups, or helping small businesses scale, I deliver professionalism, attention to detail, and a results‑driven mindset.
