@rhodaodoyo
I lead supply chain, warehousing, and logistics operations that reduce costs and improve inventory accuracy.
What I'm looking for
I've led warehousing, distribution, production planning, and logistics operations across Bic East Africa, United States International University, and De La Rue Kenya. My work combines inventory planning, procurement, vendor management, and operational reporting.
At Bic East Africa, I reconfigured warehouse layouts to reduce stock-take time by 85% and inventory count errors by 90%, while maintaining inventory accuracy above 99.98%. I also onboarded a third-party logistics provider that reduced operational costs and improved delivery times by 27%.
At De La Rue Kenya, I managed international shipments for the Central Bank of Kenya and saved £318,000 in freight costs in 2022 by sourcing competitive clearing agents. I'm looking to bring my supply chain leadership, cost reduction, and process improvement experience to an enterprise leadership role.
