Driven Procurement and Logistics Specialist with 7+ years' experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Procurement and Logistics Specialist with over 7 years of experience managing procurement, supply chain, contract, and logistics operations across Africa. My expertise lies in donor-funded environments, where I have successfully streamlined systems, negotiated contracts, and optimized vendor relations. I am particularly skilled in USAID compliance and have a proven track record of delivering cost-effective solutions in complex operational settings.
Throughout my career, I have overseen substantial budgets and implemented robust controls that enhance financial forecasting accuracy. My role as a Travel Logistics Supervisor at Church World Service allowed me to improve vendor compliance and service delivery significantly. I thrive in high-risk environments, having deployed to challenging locations to ensure operational readiness and compliance.
I am now seeking to contribute my skills to a mission-driven remote procurement or logistics role, where I can leverage my experience to drive efficiency and compliance in procurement processes.
