With nearly 20 years of practical winery experience, I am exploring new opportunities within the South African wine industry where I can add value through operational leadership, technical winemaking knowledge, and process improvement.
My experience includes: • High-volume cellar operations • Bulk wine management and blending • SAWIS administration and reconciliation • Export and client specification compliance • Harvest coordination and production planning • Laboratory interpretation and quality tracking • Cross-functional operational support under pressure
Key operational achievements include: • Coordinating • Supporting export-ready turnaround standards under strict deadlines • Building practical systems to improve cellar flow and operational visibility
I have a strong hands-on operational approach and work comfortably between cellar floor execution, administration, logistics, quality control, and team coordination.
I am enhanced my skills through the UCT Operations Management programme, with a growing focus on integrating production intelligence, AI tools, and workflow optimisation into winery operations.
Open to opportunities in: • Winemaking • Bulk wine production • Cellar management • Production coordination • Operations management • Technical and process improvement roles
