What I'm looking for

I seek a senior logistics or trade role where I can lead cross-border supply chain strategies, drive cost savings, expand markets, and build strategic partnerships in a growth-oriented organization.

I am an international trade and logistics professional with over 17 years of experience optimizing supply chains, reducing transportation costs, and expanding global distribution networks across East Africa.

I have led complex logistics operations for multimodal transport, negotiated export contracts, implemented customs compliance measures, and established banking facilities to support international trade—delivering measurable gains like cost reductions, improved on-time delivery, and increased trading volumes.

I excel at building strategic partnerships with government agencies, mining companies, and transport firms, integrating systems such as SAGE and SAP, and leading cross-functional teams to drive operational efficiency and business growth.
