Seasoned supply chain and tender management professional driving cost savings and operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a PMP-certified supply chain and tender management professional with over 10 years of experience leading local and international logistics, procurement, and operations. I specialize in end-to-end tender lifecycle management, multimodal project cargo, and cross-functional stakeholder coordination.
At DSV, I led full tender cycles, developed pricing and risk strategies, and introduced tender management tools and standardized documentation that improved proposal turnaround and win rates. I established centralized repositories and processes that boosted team efficiency and reduced procurement costs.
Previously, I served as Operations Lead for project cargo, managing high-budget, multinational projects and coordinating with government institutions, embassies, and US-Flag carriers across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Asia. I have executed projects with budgets over $50M and led pioneering transportation feasibility efforts.
I hold a Master’s in Public Administration and certifications including PMP and Wharton Business Analytics specialization. I am focused on continuous improvement, vendor governance, and delivering measurable results through disciplined project execution and strong client relationships.
