What I'm looking for

I seek a managerial operations or logistics role where I can lead teams, optimize supply chains, improve processes, and drive cost-effective, compliant operations.

I am a results-driven logistics and operations leader with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Lusaka. I specialize in optimizing supply chain processes, procurement, inventory control, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Across roles at Kasaninge Energy Limited and Blossom Farm, I oversaw daily logistics operations, supervised transportation and procurement, and implemented policies that improved efficiency and productivity. I have hands-on experience preparing and analyzing operational and financial reports to inform decision-making.

I bring strong financial acumen, having managed budgets, monitored expenditures, and supported accounts functions from internship through management roles. I also have experience leading teams, providing training, and fostering effective stakeholder and vendor relationships to streamline service delivery.

I volunteer as a team leader and event usher, demonstrating commitment to community engagement and strong interpersonal skills. I seek to contribute operational leadership that drives measurable improvements in performance and cost control.
