What I'm looking for

I want a role where I can apply my MBA learning to real operational problems. My few years in logistics finance have shown me how much depends on planning, coordination and cost control, and I want to own those decisions rather than only carry them out. I also want to keep growing through responsibility, mentoring and exposure to the wider business.

At Skynet Worldwide Express Uganda, I led financial and operational management, overseeing budgeting, cash flow, cost analysis, and financial reporting. I strengthened internal controls and reporting systems to support management decision-making and business planning.

Earlier, as Assistant Finance Manager at Skynet Worldwide Express Uganda, I managed day-to-day accounting, prepared monthly management reports, and supported cash flow forecasting. I’m pursuing an MBA at Nkumba University and ACCA certification.
