What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead supply chain transformation, drive operational excellence, mentor teams, and contribute to strategic growth in healthcare.

I am a pharmacist and strategic operations leader with over 15 years' experience optimizing pharmaceutical supply chains, healthcare logistics, and organizational development for public and private health entities. I have led large-scale feasibility assessments, strategic planning exercises, and market surveys that informed vaccine manufacturing investments and generated comprehensive pharmaceutical product databases.

As a hands-on supply chain manager and consultant, I have delivered measurable operational improvements—raising stock availability and accuracy, reducing expiries and losses, and increasing gross margins—while mentoring teams and aligning supply chain performance to business strategy. I hold an MBA in Strategic Management and professional registration as a pharmacist.
