## About

```text
At Mo Dewji Foundation, I supported institutional growth by identifying funding and partnership opportunities, developing proposals and briefs, and maintaining a pipeline of 24+ prospective institutional partners. I coordinated engagement across Health, Education, Water and Livelihood programmes.

As Operations Manager at SIMAMA, I improved dispatch planning, driver handoffs, and maintenance coordination across regional operations. I also built Excel dashboards to improve visibility into fleet capacity and readiness.

At Mo Dewji Foundation, I established Board action tracking with clear owners, deadlines, and completion records, and helped carry executive decisions through to departmental follow-through. Earlier, I audited and reconciled 500+ global payment-pricing benchmarks at FXC Intelligence and coordinated charter arrangements at Everett Aviation.
