What I'm looking for

I want a role where I can combine logistics operations, technical/biomedical maintenance experience, and sales to improve efficiency and customer outcomes. I’m looking for a team that values leadership, problem-solving, and measurable growth.

I’m a proactive and dedicated professional with a strong background in Biomedical Engineering, logistics operations, and sales. I bring experience managing technical equipment maintenance, coordinating logistics, and driving sales of health and beauty products.

As Chief Operations Officer at Odeh Logistics Ventures, I led general administration and directed daily operational activities to ensure smooth service delivery, profitability, and growth. I monitored and coordinated the movement of goods via long trucks from Takoradi and Tema ports to final destinations, optimizing logistics processes to reduce delays.

During my National Service at Essikado Government Hospital, I conducted regular services of blood pressure (BP) apparatus and other biomedical equipment, and maintained and repaired dental equipment (including air compressors). I also assisted in the installation and repair of operational lamps in the surgical theatre.

In sales roles with Max International LLC and Longrich International LLC, I marketed and distributed health supplements and personal care products, focusing on customer satisfaction and sales growth. I’m skilled in customer engagement, partnership, negotiation, and staying informed about industry trends to spot opportunities.
