About Vandor Consulting

Building Stronger Businesses Through Quality, Safety & Strategy.

Vandor Consulting was not built in a boardroom. It was built through lived experience — years of international work across Singapore, Malaysia and South Africa, a doctorate earned in some of the hardest personal circumstances imaginable, and an unshakeable belief that businesses deserve expert guidance delivered with both rigour and humanity. Today the firm works on two fronts: helping food businesses build robust safety and quality systems, and helping entrepreneurs register, structure and stay compliant from day one.

The name Vandor carries deep meaning. Van — from Vanessa. Dor — from Doris, her late mother. Dr. Rosina Dorothea “Doris” Shuping was a woman of extraordinary courage — the first coloured doctor in South Africa, who studied medicine by candlelight during the apartheid era and broke barriers the system had built specifically to stop her. She raised a doctor, a teacher, and a computer engineer from a household where educational credentials were rare but determination was abundant.


That legacy lives in this business.

To help businesses strengthen operations, improve quality and food safety systems, and achieve sustainable growth through strategic and practical consulting solutions.

To become a trusted consulting partner supporting operational excellence, business growth , and sustainable performance across africa and global markets.

The Expertise

Global Expertise. Practical Solutions. Measurable Results.

Dr. Vanessa Green holds a PhD in Business Administration, focused on small and medium enterprises (SMMEs), alongside an MBA and years of hands-on experience in food safety, quality management, and business strategy across the consumer goods and food industry.

Her international career spans four continents — Africa (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ethiopia), Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, India), Europe (Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, the Netherlands), and the United States and Middle East — bringing global food safety standards to every engagement. She holds deep expertise in HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, regulatory compliance, supply chain quality, and operational excellence.

She has worked with multinationals, SMMEs, and everything in between — and understands that great consulting is not about imposing textbook frameworks. It is about understanding a business from the inside and designing solutions that actually work.

Two Divisions, One Standard

Expert Solutions to Move Your Business Forward

Vandor Consulting delivers its expertise through two focused divisions, so clients get specialist depth in exactly the area they need — backed by one accountable partner.

Vandor Food Consulting

partners with manufacturers, retailers, exporters and hospitality operators to build food safety and quality systems, navigate certification, and align operations with long-term commercial and sustainability goals.

Vandor Business Services

helps entrepreneurs and established businesses get set up right from day one — company registration, tax and SARS, business banking, B-BBEE, licensing and ongoing compliance — with specialist support for foreign nationals establishing businesses in South Africa. Whether you are a food manufacturer building world-class safety systems or an entrepreneur registering your first company, you are working with the same standard of rigour and care.

Our Purpose

The Heart of Vandor

Before founding Vandor, Dr. Green spent time researching SMMEs — the small businesses that form the backbone of African economies but are so often underserved by the consulting industry. Her PhD gave her academic insight. Her career gave her practical depth. And her faith gave her the clarity to see that her expertise was meant to serve more than just large corporations.

Vandor Consulting was born from that conviction — that every business, from a spaza shop in a township to a multinational food manufacturer, deserves access to world-class expertise, whether that means a food safety system that protects consumers or a clean compliance foundation to build on.

Building stronger businesses through quality, safety and strategy is not just a tagline. It is the reason this business exists.
