MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Zinhle Dube.
Managing Partner — Procurement & Supply Chain Management Consultant
With over 20 years of Procurement Experience, I've successfully delivered more than 60 transformational procurement projects locally, across Southern Africa, Western Africa, and in the United States.
I've partnered with global leaders like Accenture, executed turnaround strategies for massive entities in mining and energy, and regularly shared my industry insights as a contributor to Supply Chain Today Magazine.
Right now, my focus is on helping mid-tier businesses recover their "hidden 30%"—the profits that silently leak out through unmanaged procurement spend.
Over the next couple of years, I am partnering with CEOs and CPOs to implement our Procurement-as-a-Service (PaaS) model, turning their procurement from overlooked cost centers into strategic, measurable profit engines / functions.
