What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in retail or supply chain management that allows me to leverage my extensive experience and drive business growth.

I am a seasoned retail and supply chain manager with over 25 years of experience across diverse markets including the UK, UAE, and Nepal. My expertise lies in business development, employee training, and optimizing supply chain processes. I have successfully established and managed retail operations, including the launch of CG Mart in Nepal and the development of supply chain models for BigMart.

Throughout my career, I have consistently achieved significant sales increases, with a notable record of 20%-30% year-over-year growth during challenging economic times. My strategic approach to merchandising and customer service has not only enhanced customer experience but also contributed to operational efficiencies and cost reductions. I am passionate about leading teams to success and fostering a culture of excellence in retail management.
