What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in logistics or operations where I can optimize fleets and warehouses, implement technology-driven improvements, reduce costs, and mentor teams in a safety-focused, growth-oriented company.

I am an operations and logistics professional with years of hands-on experience managing fleets, warehouses, and distribution networks across fast-moving environments. I focus on performance, safety, compliance, and transparent operations.

As Logistics and Distribution Manager at Grain Industries Limited and Fleet & Dispatch Manager at Highlands Drinks, I developed logistics strategy, managed large fleets (including statutory compliance for 162 trucks), implemented cost-control KPIs, and led technology integrations that improved on-time delivery and reduced transportation costs.

Earlier at Watervale Investments I designed and deployed inventory and fleet-tracking systems, managed maintenance using Hippo CMMS and GPS monitoring, and implemented processes that cut onsite accidents by 70% while enabling consistent FIFO warehouse operations.

I hold a BSc in Microbiology & Biotechnology, a Diploma in Logistics & Procurement, and a Certificate in Computer Applications; I am eager to apply data-driven logistics, team leadership, and continuous improvement to scale operations.
