Tiffany Barnard
As an accomplished professional with a diverse background, I bring a unique
blend of international experience and entrepreneurial success to my role as an
Associate at EP Talent Search. Raised in the vibrant landscape of Tanzania, I
embarked on a journey that spans continents, educational achievements, and
business ventures.
My academic pursuits led me to the United Kingdom, where I graduated from
Buckingham University at the age of 20 with a Bachelor of Science in Business.
Upon completing my studies, I assumed the helm of our family hotel business in
Tanzania, demonstrating my leadership capabilities at an early stage in my
career.
For six years, I directed the growth and operations of the family business.
Subsequently, I ventured into establishing a remote facilities management
enterprise to diversify our services. This initiative addressed the unique needs of
large companies operating in the remote corners of Tanzania. The expansion into
remote facilities management marked a pivotal moment, and with a team of 450
professionals, we achieved an impressive annual turnover of 8 million USD.
While my roots remained in Tanzania, my professional journey has afforded me
the opportunity to work with individuals from diverse cultures and religions.
Drawing from this rich experience, I expanded my horizons to the Middle East,
gaining valuable insights into global business dynamics. Currently based in
Spain, I continue to bring a global perspective to my work, leveraging my
multicultural background for effective collaboration in the international business
arena.
In my ongoing dedication to the business I established in Tanzania, I presently
serve in an emeritus role within the organisation. Transitioning from the active
role of CEO, I now hold an advisory and honorary position. As an emeritus CEO,
my responsibilities involve offering guidance and counsel to the current
leadership team and board of directors, leveraging my extensive experience and
expertise. Although I have relinquished day-to-day operational responsibilities, I
remain actively engaged in meetings, contributing strategic insights, and serving
as a mentor to the new leadership.
Fluent in English, French, and Swahili, my linguistic abilities reflect my
commitment to effective communication across borders. Furthermore, as a
certified coach specialising in leadership development and communication, I
bring a strategic and insightful approach to my work.
As an Associate at EP Talent Search, I am dedicated to leveraging my extensive
background to identify and recruit top-tier talent for our clients. My passion for
leadership development and cross-cultural understanding aligns seamlessly with
the values of our organisation, enabling me to contribute meaningfully to the
success of both candidates and companies.
