What I'm looking for

I want a hands-on supply chain or inventory role where I can lead teams, optimize distribution/warehouse processes, reduce shrinkage, and grow professionally while applying my Purchasing and Supply studies.

I am a motivated retail and inventory manager with over four years leading high-performing warehouse and distribution teams. I combine practical operations experience with ongoing studies in Purchasing and Supply to drive measurable improvements.

At Lactalis Zambia I led a diverse team of 15+ people, designed a new distribution system to maximize warehouse space and prioritized inventory management, and achieved a 20% improvement in shrinkage reduction while dramatically lowering stock-at-risk.

Previously at Pick n Pay I progressed through receiving, labeling and storeman roles, consistently maintaining high stock-accuracy rates and strengthening returns and security procedures. I am proficient with Microsoft Office and SAP ERP and apply persuasive negotiation and people-management skills to operational challenges.

I seek roles where I can continue improving distribution, inventory and fulfillment processes, mentor teams, and apply my Purchasing and Supply studies to deliver operational excellence and cost-effective results.
