What I'm looking for

I am looking for a senior supply chain role in a multinational that values innovation, career growth, and operational impact, with responsibility for end-to-end procurement, logistics, and team leadership.

I am a results-driven supply chain, procurement, and logistics professional with over 16 years of experience across sourcing, procurement, logistics, and inventory management. I have led end-to-end supply chain functions for manufacturing and services across Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the GCC, delivering improved KPIs and cost optimization.

My expertise includes strategic sourcing, vendor negotiation, logistics optimization, compliance with regional regulations (including customs), and developing cross-functional teams. I have managed budgets, instituted KPI frameworks (DSA, OOS, DIS, DOS, DFP, POF), and implemented inventory and cash-flow improvements that reduced capital binding.

I seek a challenging role in a progressive, multinational organization that values innovation and professional development, where I can apply proven procurement and logistics leadership to drive operational efficiency and sustainable growth.
