Yolande

Nationality: South African
Job Title: Sales Manager

I have lived in Dubai for 10 years now. I joined the Move One team in 2007. My main responsibility at Move One is to maximise sales opportunities by generating new business, retaining existing clients and further develop the relationships. I also assist with the recruiting, training and development of new sales hires.

I am living in Dubai with my husband Darryl and our two year old daughter. Demi attends the Marina Village Nursery. I initially came to Dubai because I was offered an opportunity with Emirates Airline. I currently live in Jumeirah Village. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, scrapbooking, travelling when I can and playing the piano.

Whenever I have visitors, I always take them to the Madinat, on a desert safari, shopping at the souks, Ski Dubai, Burj Khalifa, for high tea at Burj Al Arab and for dinner at either Certo, The Meat Company or Nobu. My favourite restaurants in Dubai are Nobu and Frankies.

In the next year I would like to decorate our new home, get through the summer quickly, go to the gym more often and to visit South Africa. When I think of my home country I miss the people, fine wine and food, nature, sunshine, the changing seasons and friends. The list is long, South Africa is truly a beautiful place.
