What I'm looking for

I seek a data-driven operations role where I can lead teams, optimise fleet and transport processes, improve delivery performance, and use SQL/Power BI to support strategic decisions within a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am an accomplished logistics and operations specialist with six years of industry experience, including five years in the FMCG sector, consistently improving on-time delivery and operational accuracy.

I lead cross-functional teams and manage fleets and 3PL relationships, delivering measurable results such as a 20% reduction in costs, 90% improvement in on-time deliveries, and an 80% drop in breakdown incidents.

With intermediate proficiency in SQL, Power BI, and Excel, I turn complex datasets into actionable insights, build dashboards and reports, and implement processes that minimise supply-chain delays and strengthen compliance.
