What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement and supply-chain role where I can reduce costs, strengthen supplier relationships, and improve inventory and logistics performance through compliant purchasing, accurate documentation, and continuous operational streamlining.

I’m a procurement professional with knowledge of inventory and procurement management, logistics, and supply chain operations. I’m detail-oriented and organized, with a focus on tracking back orders and implementing best strategies in purchasing and inventory to streamline operations.

Over 15 years of experience in the private sector have shaped my approach to procurement, administration, banking, economics, and accountancy. The fast digital and global world has also influenced my experience in social media ecommerce, consulting, and e-marketing.

Currently, I’m serving as Buyer at Hotspeck Enterprises – REA Zimbabwe, after serving in roles including Buyer, Administrator, Banker, Marketer, and Business Consultant across logistics, marketing, and commodity broking in Zimbabwe and South Africa. I bring contract management strengths, supplier stakeholder management, and a commitment to compliance with procurement regulations and procedures.

In past roles, I managed inventory control, reporting, supplier negotiations, expense claims, invoices, and filing systems to ensure accurate records and timely payments. I also coordinate programs and training work as an HIV and AIDS Counselor and Trainer, which strengthened my communication, assessment, and group facilitation skills.
