What I'm looking for

I seek operational leadership roles in logistics or port/warehouse environments where I can improve efficiency, safety, and cost control while mentoring teams and supporting growth.

I am a logistics and supply chain professional with over 15 years' experience across stevedoring, fleet and transportation management, forwarding & clearing, maritime logistics, oil & gas support, and warehouse operations.

I have led customs clearing on the Asycuda World system, supervised stevedoring and equipment operations, and managed bonded and general cargo movements while maintaining regulatory compliance and stakeholder communication.

At Namdeb I developed and governed warehouse systems, inventory controls, and trained teams to reach performance goals; at VIA Investments I supervised clearing and port operations, documentation and client relations.

I prioritize safety, operational efficiency, cost control and ISO-based processes, and I bring strong problem-solving, supervisory and cross-functional communication skills to drive measurable improvements.
