Maral Gouda

I’m a commercial and operations professional with 10 years of experience in the highly competitive international shipping industry. I manage time-sensitive global logistics, coordinate stakeholders across multiple time zones, and stay effective under continuous commercial pressure.

As a Commercial Manager at Varamar Group, I led the full setup and coordination of Greek branch operations to ensure smooth workflow and service delivery. I negotiate competitive international agreements with a focus on cost efficiency and client satisfaction, building long-term commercial confidence.

I coordinate complex global schedules and manage delays and last-minute adjustments while maintaining strong client relationships. I also handle budgeting, invoicing, and financial tracking with vendor coordination precision and commercial awareness.

Earlier, I managed operations, documentation, and compliance—supporting daily scheduling and tracking of a 22-vessel international fleet and maintaining accurate movement records and operational documentation. I’ve also contributed in finance through prepared financial statements, reconciliations, and freight collection monitoring, backed by multicultural communication, problem-solving under pressure, and clear operational communication across Greek, English, French, and Arabic contexts.
