## About

```text
At Meridian Global, I run supply chain operations for a fertiliser producer and retailer, covering procurement, warehousing, fleet and distribution. I manage a fleet of 100+ vehicles and hold 200+ third-party trucks to company compliance standards.

I cut fuel costs by about 30% by setting a fuel standard and using tank sensors to identify abnormal consumption. Across national agricultural input programmes, I supported logistics and inventory operations across 50+ sites, improving stock accuracy and reducing discrepancies.
