I lead regional procurement, demand planning, and logistics operations that reduce costs and improve supply availability.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At EastAfrica Brenntag Kenya Ltd., I lead demand planning, procurement forecasting, supplier sourcing, contract negotiation, and cost optimisation across East Africa. I reduced carrying costs by 12% while strengthening inventory availability and re-order cycles.
I previously coordinated regional procurement and cross-border logistics at Brenntag, reducing average transit times by 15% through carrier schedule and vendor-performance tracking. I work closely with warehousing teams, clearing agents, suppliers, and leadership to keep commodities and raw materials moving across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
My experience also includes purchase orders, supplier accounts payable, inventory reporting, customs documentation, compliance, and SOP development at Desbro Kenya Ltd. and Bluestones Ltd. I have supported procurement, HR administration, payroll, customer orders, and office operations.
I'm focused on strategic sourcing, logistics, regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, and practical process improvement. I enjoy building capable teams and creating disciplined supply chain operations that deliver measurable value.
