What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead procurement and logistics for donor-funded or large-scale programs, driving compliance, cost savings, and reliable supply delivery while growing into broader supply chain leadership.

I am a results-driven procurement and supply chain professional with over six years of experience managing international procurement for large projects and ensuring timely delivery.

I have a proven track record negotiating contracts that deliver significant cost savings, coordinating logistics and customs clearance, and maintaining strong supplier relationships to secure reliable supply chains.

My work includes supporting donor-funded procurement (World Bank), preparing solicitation documents, conducting bid evaluations, and producing procurement reports for management and stakeholders.

I hold a Master’s and B.Sc. (Hons) in Supply Chain Management, CIPS Level 4 (ongoing), and a certificate in Medical Health Logistics; I bring operational discipline, compliance focus, and practical experience in fleet and asset management.
