🌍 Great movement. Greater ambitions. 🌍

I am excited to announce that I have joined Traze, part of the Global Heal Group, as head of South Africa sales.

This is not just a title change – it’s the beginning of building something huge!
My commitment is simple:
⚡ Deliver a customer experience that really stands out on the market.
⚡ Build trust through transparency and fair trading conditions.
⚡ Create an ecosystem that feels premium, global and built to last.

What excites me the most is the energy of the team we have already gathered, a mix of sharp young professional and experienced industry players, passionate and leading to Traze as one of the great powers of South Africa.
I don’t stop there! I am also on hunting for more sh **-hot talent in industry, ambitious people who want to participate in building a top brand!

Here is at the start of a bold new chapter for Trace in South Africa and I could not be proud to play a role in creating constant value for our customers and partners. 🥂
