Automotive Consulting — Global Expertise
At the age of 22, I began my journey in the automotive world, driven by a deep fascination for cars, global markets, and the mechanics behind international trade.
What started as a passion quickly evolved into a career. Over the past decade, I have built hands-on experience across vehicle sourcing, sales, and international distribution—working closely with dealers, suppliers, and clients across multiple continents.
Having lived and worked in South Africa, Belgium, West Africa, Dubai, and now South America, I have developed a truly global perspective of the automotive industry, with a strong focus on emerging markets, particularly across Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Throughout my journey, I have been involved in everything from single high-value transactions to large-scale fleet operations, gaining deep expertise in negotiation, logistics, and market positioning.
Today, through my consulting activity and collaboration with GMTI Auto, I support clients in navigating the complexity of international automotive trading, connecting them with the right vehicles, the right partners and the right opportunities.
By leveraging a global network of manufacturers, suppliers, and logistics partners, I deliver seamless, end-to-end vehicle sourcing and distribution solutions.
My core expertise includes:
Vehicle sourcing (LHD / RHD, new, pre-owned and classic vehicles)
International trading and export strategies
Fleet replacement solutions for corporate clients
Market expansion across Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and other emerging markets
Negotiation with OEMs and large-volume suppliers
Logistics coordination, compliance, and documentation
From single high-value units to large-scale fleet operations, my mission remains the same: to help clients secure the right vehicles at the right price with efficiency, transparency, and reliability.
