What I'm looking for

I seek a role that challenges my analytical skills and offers growth opportunities in logistics and supply chain management.

I am a dedicated Logistics Analyst with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and Financial Management from the University of Sheffield. My career spans several years in logistics and supply chain management, where I have honed my analytical skills and financial acumen to optimize operations and improve sourcing strategies. Currently, I serve as a Vessel Closeout Analyst at Ocean Network Express, where I proactively coordinate cargo movement and resolve shipment issues, ensuring compliance with contractual agreements.

Previously, I held positions at Hapag-Lloyd AG, where I oversaw invoicing and provided training for new recruits, and at MOL America, where I managed export bookings and negotiated with trucking companies. My experience is complemented by a strong proficiency in various ERP systems and analytical tools, including Net Suite, Microsoft BI, and Google Analytics. I am committed to aligning logistics operations with business objectives and driving efficiency through strategic thinking.
