What I'm looking for

My journey has equipped me with a robust skill set that includes fleet management, customer development, and strategic planning. I thrive in environments that challenge my problem-solving abilities and allow me to think outside the box.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed teams and operations, ensuring efficient and timely delivery of services while maintaining high standards of safety and compliance. My role as a Fleet Manager at Midas Solutions has honed my leadership skills, where I oversee the operations of 20+ associates and 22 vehicles. I am recognized for my ability to develop rapport and trust within teams, driving initiatives that enhance business growth and performance.

As I seek new opportunities, I am eager to leverage my extensive background in transport operations to contribute to corporate objectives. I am particularly passionate about fostering a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and continuous improvement.
