What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my freight-industry knowledge, customer relationship skills, and sales ability as a Freight Broker at Socket.dev, contributing to growth through a 100% commission-based sales approach.

I've led container terminal operations and planning at Hutchison Port in Alexandria, overseeing gang assignments, equipment deployment, vessel berthing, productivity, and yard planning.

Across long-term roles at Alexandria International Container Terminal and Hutchison Ports, I've supervised planners, yard gangs, and labor teams; improved planning procedures; and coordinated berthing and yard strategies to reduce delays.

My background also includes vessel planning and dispatch at Sokhna Port Development Co., plus customer service and operational support in aviation and hospitality. I'm now focused on bringing my freight-industry knowledge, customer relationships, and sales ability to freight brokering.
