Introduction:
I am a well disciplined, reliable, punctual person and very professional in all my working relations. I take my profession
very seriously. Client confidentiality and trust is the foundation I build my working relations on. I am also able to
communicate and work with people of all walks of life. Able to work long hours and function well under pressure,
work well in a team but also able to take lead if necessary. I also enjoy reading, love the outdoors and maintain a
healthy and fit lifestyle.
Why do I succeed?
I succeed because I am willing to do things you are not. I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shackled
by fear, insecurity or doubt. I feel those emotions, drink them in and then swallow them away. I am motivated by
accomplishment, not pride. Pride consumes the weak, kills their heart from within. If I fall, I will get up. If I’m beaten,
I will return. I will never stop getting better. I will never give up, ever. That is why I succeed.
Core Skills:
I am an able P.S.D Operations manager, Projects Manager, Team Leader, good mediator, communicator and
problem solver. Well trained Crime Investigator and Close Protection Specialist. I hold several certificates in the
mentioned fields. Fast to learn new skills and applying the new found knowledge. I am a responsible, willing hard
worker. I have experience in several of the security disciplines and will be able to add value to the working
environment I am assigned to.
