Experienced sea freight operations specialist and procurement professional.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I am a sea freight operations specialist and procurement professional with experience across Portugal and Angola, managing international shipments, bookings and customs-related processes. I combine operational rigor with commercial acumen to ensure timely and compliant freight movements.
My background includes roles handling sea freight operations for routes including North Africa, USA, Canada and Mexico, where I managed bookings, shipping instructions, AMS/ISF/ACI filings, pré-alerts and invoicing. I have also worked in customs brokerage and invoicing systems, coordinating transport and customer service.
As a freelance procurement professional I led bidding processes and contract negotiations that delivered cost savings, implemented supplier management systems, and evaluated supplier performance to optimize supply chains. I pair procurement strategy with hands-on vendor and contract management.
I hold a Bachelor's in Management and an MBA in Marketing and International Trade, and certifications including IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and digital marketing. I am organized, customer-focused and committed to improving operational efficiency and supplier relationships.
