What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior operations role where performance, safety, and efficiency are non‑negotiable—leading multi-stakeholder fuel/LPG and logistics teams with data-driven KPI improvements and audit-ready execution.

I’m an Operations and Logistics leader with 6+ years of progressive experience driving high-volume fuel and LPG distribution, terminal operations and 3PL logistics execution in a multinational energy environment. I’ve consistently delivered measurable results, including a 98% OTIF delivery rate and meaningful reductions in operational delays while maintaining a zero-incident HSSEQ record.

I’m recognized for operational leadership beyond core responsibilities, including a formally seconded role as LPG Plant Assistant Supervisor. I led a 15–20-person contractor workforce and oversaw 1,000+ cylinder daily operations of filling and revalidation, delivering zero incidents across a 6-month period through disciplined safety leadership, daily HSSEQ routines and SOPs.

I bring sharp analytical thinking from a B.Sc. in Pure and Applied Mathematics and hands-on expertise across dispatch coordination, fleet coordination, and multi-stakeholder coordination. From day-to-day SAP/ICMS/Omega 5000 recording to audit-ready records management and KPI reporting, I focus on performance, safety and efficiency that teams can trust.
