Senior operations & strategy manager translating regional strategy into disciplined execution and data-driven decision-making.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Operations and Strategy professional with 14 years of experience leading large-scale projects, cross-functional operations, and strategic initiatives across regional, multi-stakeholder environments.
Currently, I’m a Senior Operations Manager responsible for operations management, strategic planning, project implementation, and performance monitoring across Administration, Human Resources, Procurement, Logistics, Information Technology, Tenders, and Property Management. I drive executive reporting through dashboards and operational briefs, and I’m leading development, strategic execution, and performance monitoring of a company Strategic Master Plan across manufacturing, infrastructure, agriculture, utilities, trading, and PPP-related initiatives.
Previously, as Head of GIS Department at Kwale International Sugar Company Limited (KISCOL), I led the GIS and analytical function to support project management, strategic planning, risk assessment, and operational decision-making. A detailed review of contractor-submitted data helped the company avoid approximately USD 900,000 in potential overpayments, while strengthening accountability processes; I also supervised 6 permanent staff and up to 40 project-based personnel.
Earlier as a GIS Specialist (KISCOL), I supported data analysis, mapping, and reporting for land-use planning, agricultural development, and infrastructure projects—building databases, workflows, and feasibility decision support. Across every role, I’m known for bringing structure, clarity, and practical solutions to complex challenges, aligning teams, improving processes, and translating strategy into execution.
