What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles combining teaching, research, consultancy, and training in logistics, supply chain, HRM, or transport, with opportunities to lead projects and build institutional capacity.

I am an experienced academic, consultant, and trainer with 15 years of teaching, research, training and management experience in logistics, supply chain management, human resource management, and transport and humanitarian logistics. I have led and managed more than ten research and consultancy projects, coordinated national surveys and customer satisfaction studies, and developed multiple organizational systems and training materials.

I deliver practical, evidence-based solutions and training, and I am committed to quality, problem-solving, and capacity building. I seek roles where I can apply my project management, organizational design, and training expertise to support institutional development, human capital growth, and improved operations.
