What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my extensive supply chain experience while fostering collaboration and innovation within a dynamic team.

I am a dedicated supply chain logistics practitioner with over 10 years of management and leadership experience, primarily focused on US government-funded health supply chain management projects. My robust experience encompasses reception, storage, distribution, and tracking of health products, where I have successfully utilized data analysis to visualize gaps and make informed decisions to resolve challenges. I pride myself on my excellent reputation for collaborating with stakeholders and partner organizations to achieve set goals.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to coordinate and communicate effectively with multi-sector teams, management, and stakeholders while also excelling in independent work. My proficiency in various tools such as DHIS2, VINDATA, and AUTOCAD has enabled me to enhance supply chain sustainability and improve data quality. I am passionate about mentoring and building capacity within teams to ensure the continuous improvement of supply chain performance.
