What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply logistics technology, data, and process automation to improve supply chain visibility, operational efficiency, cost performance, and customer experience.

I'm coordinating end-to-end inbound and outbound freight at PCE Ventures Manufacturing PLC / Parker Clay, covering air, ocean, and road shipments, documentation, tracking, warehouse support, and supply chain performance reporting. I've negotiated shipping rates that reduced overall logistics costs by 15% and implemented automation that increased operational efficiency by 30%.

Previously, I advised clients at Sophopia Consulting PLC on transportation networks, logistics strategy, KPIs, procurement, and 3PL vendor management. At DHL Global Forwarding, I managed air freight procurement, gateway capacity, MRO logistics, RFQ pricing, carrier relationships, billing, and operational performance; I also helped improve the Air Freight Auto-Rating KPI from 6% to 49%.

I'm enthusiastic about logistics technology, digital transformation, and using software and data to improve supply chain visibility, automation, operational efficiency, and customer experience.
