What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead transport and distribution planning where I can use logistics analytics, SAP, and KPI-driven execution to reduce transport costs, improve service levels, and strengthen vendor and last-mile performance.

I’m a results-driven Transport and Supply Chain Planning professional with over 8 years of experience managing large-scale logistics and distribution operations in multinational FMCG environments. I coordinate the movement of 10,000+ tons of goods daily across multi-site distribution networks, aligning distribution planning with supply, commercial, and warehouse needs.

In my current role as a Transport, Distribution & Replenishment Planner at Unilever Nigeria, I supervise planning and utilization of 200+ fleet vehicles across 5 distribution centers. I’ve delivered a 15% transport cost reduction through route optimization and vendor strategy improvements, and improved delivery performance by 10% through enhanced planning and last-mile coordination while monitoring KPIs like service level, fill rate, and lead time.
