Franchise Manager

Giving every child the power to succeed to me means being present and fully committed to my work. This means delivering on my commitment and responsibility to support Franchisors / Programme leads, with effective and efficient implementation of the SmartStart programme. I do this by bringing my experience in Project management, Stakeholder management, and People management.
From my previous role as Gauteng Branch Operations Manager, I fully appreciate the importance of effective implementation towards achieving child outcomes. It all starts with developing an Implementation plan that appreciates the unique features of each province, municipality, and areas of implementation. This entails building an understanding of individual Franchisor tapestry information and how to use this effectively to plan. All this aligned to budgets and prioritising activities. Being intentional at targeting areas where the ECD access gap is widest and reaching those children!
