Pierre Hattingh

Financial Manager
Mayville

Summary

A motivated self-starter with 20 years’ experience. I believe that integrity and honour are the most defining characteristics of my personality. I can work independently as well as within a team. I have a reputation for good communication skills and willingness to help and develop others. With an open mind to new positions and opportunities I am willing to take on any new challenge that will come my way. I can clearly articulate my thoughts and have proven the ability to interact with both finance and non-finance staff to facilitate efficient reporting procedures. I now seek an opportunity within your organisation, where I can bring significant value, and continue to develop my skills further.
