What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead procurement and logistics, ensure import/export compliance, improve inventory availability, and deliver exceptional customer support through data-driven cost optimization.

I’m an accomplished Supply Chain, Logistics, and Customer Service Professional with over 10 years of experience across the GCC, primarily in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

In my current role as Purchasing Manager in Colombo, I strategically procure branded and trending timepieces, negotiate pricing and logistics, and collaborate with sales on inventory forecasting to maintain consistent product availability.

Previously, as a Supply Chain Officer in Doha, I managed the end-to-end procurement cycle, coordinated multimodal freight and insurance, ensured customs compliance, and secured ministry approvals—proactively monitoring logistics to mitigate supply chain risks and avoid penalties and demurrage fees. I also bring a customer-first background from my UPS experience, delivering shipment tracking, dispatch operations, and dependable service.
