Keri Garland-Soldo

I am a Commercial Manager with over 15 years of experience working in both the public and private sectors in a variety of roles. I am a business management consultant with an interest in sustainability and compliance, having worked in office management, legal environments and project from planning and implementation to execution. I pride myself in my ability to support multiple projects with medium to high complexity which is proven with my consistent track record of on time and on quality delivery.

I have worked on projects and with companies including Environmental Business Strategies; TMS Research; Bernard Tanner and Associates; Rothbart Incorporated; KWP Attorneys; Casasola Attorneys; ECR Nilsen Attorneys and Allardyce and Partners and I have been recognized with several awards during my career. My experience and continued learning have enabled me to develop my passion and understanding of multiple industries and is ultimately afforded me the opportunity to find my passion working with non-profit organisations.

 Working with non-profit organisations has become somewhat of a passion for me personally and will continue to work alongside these organisations for years to come.  I have had the pleasure of working with the South African Council for Automation and Control (SACAC), which is a NPO for the computation, automation and control in South Africa. We have provided the NPO with company secretarial services, as well as membership and administrative support. In conjunction with these services we manage SACAC’s finances and both local and international conferences and workshops.

Working with Cornerstone Woman NPC in an Advisory Board position, Secretariat, has been an amazing experience for me. Cornerstone Woman is a unique not-for-profit organisation that provides woman with an opportunity to make a new start after being victim to ongoing and destructive cycles of abuse. I sit on the advisory board and provide company secretarial services, manage their finances and provide compliance, support and advice.

Working in various industries, I have come to realise that the commonality across industries is the need for strategic business support. Admittedly, I am a self-confessed workaholic, and am blessed with the ability to focus on the finer details. I believe this gives me an edge where I safeguard my clients to ensure they are sustainable and compliant businesses. For me, there is no better feeling than seeing a client thrive to achieve dream and reaching it, with the tailored solution offered from Office Executives services. I believe in adding the personal touch and building relationships with my clients and colleagues. Understanding how all aspects of a business run parallel and ensure the main objectives are reached taking all the necessary aspects into account.

I believe that I have exceptional communication skills and the ability to communicate effectively adapting style to the audience I am surrounded by. Motivated by delivering excellence and effectively able to respond to diverse needs of customers and colleagues. Focused on ability to reliably and responsibly work with internal and external stakeholders, demonstrate cross-functional working encouraging and supporting others to achieve project and organizational goals

Apart for my dedication to my business and working alongside non-profit organisations, I am devoted to my family and finding balance.
