What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my leadership skills and analytical abilities in a dynamic environment, with opportunities for growth and innovation.

I am a motivated self-starter passionate about people and numbers. A born leader, I’d describe myself as affable, with a special affinity for project optimization. My analytical mind and attention to detail serve me both in the big picture and minutiae. I have a proven track record of turning challenges into opportunities and enjoy the novelty of new tasks and mastering new skills.

Currently, I serve as the Regional Land Solutions and Operational Excellence Manager at DB Schenker, where I have assumed operational ownership of multiple teams across various locations. My role involves financial management, budget setting, and developing pricing models to enhance profitability. I thrive on presenting solutions to clients and assisting them in gaining new business, while also managing the implementation of new operational requirements and digital solutions.

My previous experience at DSV Global Transport & Logistics has equipped me with strong leadership skills and a deep understanding of logistics coordination and 3PL management. I am adept at managing high-performance teams, overseeing development of new systems, and ensuring compliance with operational standards. I am driven to see projects through to completion and continuously seek to improve processes and service levels.
