What I'm looking for

I seek a senior logistics role in a humanitarian organization where I can lead supply chain, fleet and facilities operations, support emergency responses, mentor teams, and ensure compliance and efficient service delivery.

I am a logistics and administrative specialist with over 20 years' experience supporting Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) across supply chain, fleet, facilities, ICT, WASH, energy and security. I deliver operational continuity through policy implementation, emergency preparedness and process optimization.

I have led logistics teams, managed procurement/tender processes, supervised construction and facility maintenance, and overseen cold chain and fleet operations in high-pressure humanitarian contexts. My work includes incident/security management during civil unrest and coordinating emergency responses to floods, earthquakes and avalanches.

I prioritize staff development, cultural sensitivity and cost-efficient solutions, with proven achievements such as COVID-19 SOP/IPC management, coordinating a regional mental health survey, interim logistics management for SGBV services, and multiple outreach and renovation projects.
