What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a dynamic company that values customer service and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a dedicated logistics professional with extensive experience in import and export operations, customer service, and supply chain management. My career spans over two decades, during which I have honed my skills in managing complex logistics processes, ensuring timely deliveries, and maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am committed to going the extra mile for my clients.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed the full import clearing process for various shipping methods, including LCL and FCL consignments. My expertise in negotiating rates and establishing cost-effective solutions has consistently resulted in significant savings for my employers and clients. I am proficient in using CargoWise and other logistics software, which allows me to streamline operations and enhance communication with stakeholders.

I believe in the importance of teamwork and collaboration, and I take pride in my ability to build strong relationships with clients and colleagues alike. My goal is to contribute my skills and experience to a forward-thinking organization that values customer-centric approaches and fosters professional growth.
