04
Africa Based Railways Concessionaire
Objective:
Restructure the organizational structure
Problem:
A railway concessioner encountered difficulties arising from
an inefficient operational contractor, which were further compounded by a reverse merger. This led to the formation of a disorganized and inadequately managed company with a significant workforce of over 1,850 employees.
Challenges:
The prevailing mentality within the ex-Government-owned company, coupled with assertive employee unions and the government's emphasis on expanding employment, together with unique employee expertise.
Solution:
Developed a strategic plan, including training and position consolidation, agreed upon an employee reduction plan, generated infrastructure projects for business expansion, and created a self-employment program for retired staff (which maintains expertise as variable costs).
Results:
Reduced fixed cost for payrolls by 50% (to 850 employees over three years), improved operational flexibility and business acceptability by investment in infrastructure resulting in new business opportunities and transformed losses into profits with a three-fold increase in dividend payments.
05
Africa Based Railways Concessionaire

a change requiring long-term planning, infrastructure investment, and inventory changes.
Solution:
Collaborated with the fuel supplier (BP), provided them with
a dedicated fleet of tankers in exchange for significant fuel discounts, and generated new revenue by transporting their fuel.
Results:
Achieved cost savings in company operations, generated millions of US dollars in new revenue and achieved a balanced cash flow until the commodities industry recovered.
