What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to use my leadership, operational, and commercial expertise to drive revenue growth, improve efficiency, strengthen customer relationships, and achieve organizational objectives.

At Sheri Automotive Ltd, I work as Sales Manager, developing customers and sales strategies for truck spare parts. I advise customers on part selection, manage sales team performance, and coordinate with procurement and warehouse teams on inventory and replenishment.

At Next Couriers and Logistics Limited, I supported client satisfaction and retention by providing shipment updates, resolving shipping and documentation issues, and identifying potential delays before they affected clients. At Oxford University Press, Tanzania, I developed market strategies, demonstrated products, attracted customers, and contributed market feedback to sales planning.

As Transport Officer at Mbeya University of Science and Technology (MUST), I managed a fleet of 45+ vehicles, reduced downtime by 20%, and maintained insurance and licence compliance. Earlier, as Workshop Manager at Kazzar Ltd, I managed maintenance for 50+ vehicles and motorcycles and coordinated importation and warehouse operations; I also worked in shipping operations and hold a degree / Advanced Diploma in Logistics and Transport Management.
