What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my logistics, supply chain, stock-control, cross-border shipment, reporting, and team leadership experience in a deadline-driven operational environment.

I currently coordinate logistics at Sonorex, managing shipment documentation, pre-alerts, certificates of destination, tracking, and client queries for sulphur, coal, and copper projects.

I balance active files across daily, weekly, and monthly cycles, support finance reporting, and create SOPs that clarify contacts, invoice processes, turnaround times, and deadlines. I’ve worked with DAP and FCA files, cross-border transporters, and clearing agents.

At Loot.co.za, I supervised a team of 6–8 Operations Co-Ordinators while overseeing local and international shipments, stock takes, forecasting, KPIs, supplier escalations, and warehouse coordination. I also trained and mentored coordinators, managed schedules and overtime, and resolved ERP/WMS back-office queries.

My background also includes procurement, inventory analysis, production scheduling, supplier negotiations, import documentation, office administration, and financial reporting across Booksite Afrika, Hyperli, Brand Name Marketing, Westcor, and Henry & Partners.
