ACHIEVEMENTS: Achieved successful outcomes in exceeding Kalari's forecasted budget within the first year. Fostered positive and collaborative relationships with client, Bowen Coking Coal, thus winning an additional project and successfully doubled weekly revenue. Championed management and execution of Kalari's end to end recruitment drive of 150+ additional staff for two new projects, and in recognition was promoted to the position of Project Manager. Pioneered development and execution of a nationally based database for Kalari, resulted in being adopted by senior management across the organisation and improving efficiencies (including better tracking of tender opportunities within the mining sector). Negotiated and secured a multi-million contract for George Weston & Sons – resulted in increasing the client’s annual sales spend by introducing a cost saving manufacturing initiative, thus generating additional revenue for the client’s business.
