About Etienne

Phone verified

As a highly skilled and successful professional with more than 28 years experience in hospitality, procurement, and warehouse management I possess a wide range of knowledge and experience that will allow me to contribute toward the success of any company. My expertise lies in successfully overseeing hotel, procurement, warehouse, shipping and receiving, and logistical coordination while collaborating with multicultural, diverse staff to maximize productivity, efficiency, and overall performance. Through my experience, I have become adept in ensuring adherence to organizational goals and requirements while facilitating streamlined warehousing operations. I managed 26 staff working as the Procurement and Warehouse Manager for Peermont's "Emperors Palace" (Peermont is a multi property Casino, Hotel and Convention group). The staff compliment consisted of: Coordinator, Buyers, Receiving Clerks, Storeman, Distribution Hands, Fridge Packers, Fridge Cleaners, Fresh Produce Market Agents and Uniform Controllers We bought on average between 15 and 17-million-rand stock per month consisting of: Dry Goods (FMCG), Perishables, Beverage, Guest Supplies (Hotel Amenities), Chemicals, Printing, Stationery, Uniforms, Slots Spares, Maintenance Spares, Rooms Equipment, Rooms Linen, Restaurant Linen, Diesel, Gas, Promotional Stock, Novelty items (Retail Outlets), Tobacco, Gaming Stationery, Operating Equipment Our stock holding averaged approximately 35 million rand and we had ±19500 stock items. I worked for Peermont for close to 20 years (November 1998) and was fortunate enough to be part of the opening team for four of our hotels, convention center and a Retail emporium. I frequently travelled to other Peermont units to consult and install procurement systems. I am well versed (Property Expert having completed train-the-trainer courses) in Fidelio, Materials Control, Wanama and Searchlight e-procurement systems. Wanama is a professional procurement services company focusing in the hospitality, catering and airline industries. Wanama uses home grown procurement technology which makes them flexible and nimble. Their web-based technology platform allows for flexible hosted options and there are no specific end user hardware requirements. My proven ability to optimize procurement and warehouse operations and team success, along with my solid skills in communication and problem solving, will contribute immensely to the success of any company. Thank you for your consideration; I look forward to speaking with you soon.
