@mercyndanu
Strategic supply chain and logistics executive delivering data-driven cross-border performance, cost savings, and fleet reliability.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Strategic Supply Chain and Logistics Executive with over ten years of experience driving operational excellence in manufacturing and export-focused organisations. I focus on data-driven optimisation, cross-border logistics, and safety frameworks that translate into measurable savings and reliable delivery outcomes.
In my most recent role, I spearheaded end-to-end supply chain and logistics operations for 12+ critical SKUs—supporting raw-material sourcing through finished-goods dispatch and customer delivery. I led and developed a 57-member team and strengthened cross-functional collaboration to improve service delivery and supply chain resilience for regional and international markets.
My results are consistently operational and quantifiable: I’ve raised fleet reliability from 78% to 93%, cut customs clearance from 24 hours to 4–5 hours, and improved on-time delivery from 89% to 95%. I’ve also delivered significant annual cost savings—ranging from KES 4.5M to KES 5.5M—by improving preventive maintenance, parts procurement, and workshop oversight.
I bring strong international execution and compliance capability, including customs coordination and third-party logistics management, while using KPI design, performance dashboards, and ERP solutions such as SAP and Oracle to guide decision-making. Whether improving order-fill rates to 97% and reducing stock-outs by 30% or extending asset life by 6 to 8 months, I’m known for building high-performance teams and turning process improvement into sustained performance.
