  I founded and led a highly successful company that specialized in system design, service, installation, and business development. Prior to my relocation to Australia, my team had established strong commercial relationships with several large national supermarket chains, including Woolworths and Shoprite Checkers, as well as petroleum convenience stores, quick-service restaurants such as McDonald's, hospitals, foodservice caterers, and consulting engineers involved in various applications, such as banana ripening, seed potato, and controlled atmosphere fruit storage. One of our greatest achievements was the development of a proprietary CMMS software solution, which enabled our clients to log jobs online, track their progress, and view service and cost history with complete transparency. This innovative solution was a game-changer for our industry at the time, setting us apart from our competitors and enhancing our reputation as a company that delivered exceptional service and innovation value to our clients. Throughout my tenure as the leader of this company, I instilled a culture of excellence, emphasizing the importance of teamwork, accountability, and customer satisfaction. As a result, we were able to consistently deliver outstanding results and exceed our clients' expectations.
