Profile Summary

I am a certified Business Continuity Management (BCM) ISO 22301 Lead Implementer as well as a certified ISO 22301 Lead Implementer trainer. I have been involved in a number of ISO 22301 implementations most notably the multi-million Rand BCM implementation project for the City of Tshwane (previously Pretoria). Because of my experience and skills I am often approached by my peers and colleagues to provide assistance and/or advise as to how to comply with the requirements of ISO 22301 -2019. I was one of the first candidates in South Africa to obtain both the Certified ISO 22301 BCM Lead Implementer as well as the ISO 22301 trainer qualification. I am an independent BCM ISO Training BCM consultant and have facilitated a number of ISO 22301 Lead Implementer and Foundation training programs to a number of delegates across a broad section of industries in Southern Africa from Central Reserve Banks, Revenue Services, Banks, IT related companies, Central and Provincial Governmental Departments and many other industries - to date I have trained over 400 delegates and am proud of my pass mark record which currently stands at around 96%. In fact, I had the Director responsible for the implementation of BCM for City of Tshwane (see above) on a ISO 22301 Lead Implementer program. I am often requested by ContinuitySA, Continuity Mauritius, Blackboard Consulting and a number of other training companies to assist them with training during their BCM implementations. Prior to this, I was the Business Risk Manager for various divisions/areas in the Retail Operations of Standard Bank of South Africa from 2002 to February 2011 before taking early retirement to pursue other interests (at one stage I was responsible for the areas of 9 director's covering some 600 staff members). From 1 March 2011 to 28 February 2014, I was the Enterprise Risk and Business Continuity Consultant for Caridon Business Solutions. With Caridon, I was exposed to a variety of initiatives ranging from undertaking Enterprise Risk Assignments; to assisting with the planning, implementation and testing of BCM Programs and Systems; to preparing and assisting with training interventions and presentations; to responding to RFQ and RFP tenders for various companies and Central Government / Provincial Governmental Agencies; to assisting in creating the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Business Continuity Chapter which is affiliated to the Business Continuity Institute in London. I resigned from Caridon in February 2014 and was approached by ContinuitySA in March 2014 to assist in establishing their BCM training program and to become a trainer in the business continuity management domain. Besides facilitating ISO 22301 BCM training programs, I am a Business Broker with SA LAND and in addition, I have my own Herbalife Wellness and Weight Management consultancy and product distribution business.
