I've led procurement and supply chain operations across Kenya and South Sudan for BMMI, managing US$1.2 million in annual procurement spend, US$2.2 million in inventory, and recurring savings of approximately US$180,000 through sourcing and supplier negotiations.

I'm currently advising the Federal Government of Somalia on World Bank-funded digital infrastructure procurement, building on 13+ years across commercial, manufacturing, humanitarian, and public-sector programmes, including USAID-funded delivery.
