What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can run end-to-end tour operations for corporate and high-sensitivity travel, optimize margins, and handle crisis and compliance with strong quality control—delivering immediate operational value from day one.

I’m a dynamic, results-driven Tours & Operations Manager with over 5 years of progressive experience in the East African travel and tourism sector. I orchestrate high-value domestic and international tour operations, lead supplier negotiations, and manage complex end-to-end logistics—especially for corporate, leisure, and sensitive medical travel.

Since Apr 2022, I’ve been an Administrative & Tours Consultant (Acting Operations Lead), managing the deployment and execution of complex corporate itineraries, domestic packages, and international travel routes. I pioneer VIP and medical logistics protocols to deliver 100% security, discretion, and logistical accuracy, while also renegotiating service level agreements and volume contracts with premium partners to enhance company profit margins.

I’m an expert user of Amadeus and Galileo, overseeing high-volume international ticketing, multi-currency fare quotes, and complex re-issuances and cancellations. I also standardize visa and travel insurance document checking structures to mitigate regulatory operational risks, and I build strong customer retention through structured account management and CRM-led client lifecycle workflows.
