What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role in a dynamic company that values innovation and efficiency, where I can leverage my expertise in supply chain management and logistics to drive operational excellence.

I am a seasoned Supply Chain and Logistics Manager with extensive experience in e-commerce logistics, transport, and distribution. My career spans over 11 years, during which I have successfully managed operations across multiple countries, including the UAE, KSA, and Pakistan. I thrive in fast-paced environments, adeptly handling complex logistics challenges while optimizing processes to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.

At Blue Ocean Global Group, I lead supply chain operations, managing imports, exports, and freight forwarding across 42 countries. My strategic approach has resulted in improved operational standards and significant cost savings. Previously, as Head of e-commerce Logistics at Trax Logistics, I directed nationwide operations, focusing on growth strategies and operational excellence. My leadership has consistently driven teams to exceed performance targets and deliver exceptional service.
