I joined Swist as a software project manager in the Software Development division. I soon took over the account
management of our key client. I went on to launch a number of products including Datavoir (an Operational Data Store for Telco's) and MXit (a mobile IM platform) which grew to tens of millions of users.
The multi-terabyte Oracle data store, Datavoir, was able to process over 500TPS and was able to store multiple years of data with real time profiling. We also developed data analysis tools for analysing subscriber behaviour, monitoring
product success and investigating fraud. As the Account Manager I also worked directly with the Vodacom Product
Team that was established to manage their product launches where we evaluated products based on their uptake and the subscribers' usage.
My role in MXit was initially also a project management role but as the dedicated product team grew my role became
more focused on product and business strategy. I was appointed onto Swist's and MXit's Board of Directors where I was also involved in the business strategy, financial management and human resource management. I was also responsible
for Microsoft and Oracle partnerships and 'gold certification' as well as gaining Oracle Product certification.

Project Manager
ID Technologies.
I was initially appointed on a six month project to assist with the implementation of a Shell Royal Dutch forecourt and signage re-brand project in Southern Africa. I gained valuable experience managing complex projects and enterprise
clients costing with budgets in the millions of Dollars each year.
This included managing the design, manufacture and installation on more than one thousand premises in Southern
Africa. Typically we had an annual tender per client and managed both the legal tender and financial administration of the tenders and build programs.
I managed the specification of and build of custom software to manage a specific client that required digital
photographic evidence of each installation (health warning on all branding) as none of the Project Management tools
available at the time could meet our client's needs.
