What I'm looking for

I'm open to UK Skilled Worker visa sponsorship and international remote roles.

At New Kenya Cooperative Creameries (NKCC), I managed end-to-end procurement operations, including sourcing, RFQs, supplier coordination, purchase orders and reporting. I used SAP SCM, Oracle ERP and advanced Excel to analyze procurement and supplier data.

As Senior Warehousing & Logistics Officer at NKCC, I led warehousing and logistics operations for approximately 50 personnel. I maintained 98% on-time delivery performance and contributed to logistics initiatives that reduced transportation costs by 13%.

Earlier at NKCC, I supported warehouse operations and improved inventory reconciliation, stock accuracy and inbound logistics tracking. At Kenya School of Monetary Studies (KSMS), I supported RFQs, supplier communication and purchase order preparation as a Procurement Assistant.

I hold an MSc in Supply Chain Management and Logistics, a Bachelor of Commerce in Purchasing & Business Logistics, CIPS Level 4, and Six Sigma Yellow Belt and Green Belt certifications.
