What I'm looking for

Seeking to leverage expertise in data analysis and strategic planning to drive operational efficiency and organizational growth in a dynamic environment.

Dynamic Operations Manager and Business Analyst with over a decade of experience driving operational excellence and implementing advanced system solutions across the ports and logistics sectors. Proven track record in managing large-scale projects, including successful migrations of critical operating systems, and developing streamlined processes that optimize resource allocation and reduce costs.

Leveraging advanced data analysis, performance reporting, and business process re-engineering skills, I excel at turning data insights into actionable strategies that drive organizational success. I am committed to improving efficiency through automation and strategic planning, building strong stakeholder relationships, and leading teams to achieve organizational goals. With a strong ability to assess risks early, I develop strategic plans to mitigate them and remain committed to meeting project deadlines and guidelines.

My professional journey includes key contributions such as leading comprehensive risk assessments, supervising teams, collaborating with senior management on project risks, and developing standardized reporting processes. I have also directed the migration of terminal operating systems, enhancing functionality and reducing downtime, and created tools to monitor overtime and improve resource allocation.
