What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork, where I can leverage my logistics expertise to drive operational excellence.

I am a result-oriented professional with over 10.8 years of experience in logistics, transportation, and supply chain management. My career has been dedicated to ensuring profitability through effective operations management, particularly in 3PL warehousing and multimodal transportation. I have successfully maximized cost benefits while enhancing client satisfaction and retention by providing cutting-edge logistics solutions.

In my recent role as Logistics Manager at Inara Logistics in Zambia, I led a team to manage operations for a frozen food manufacturer, overseeing everything from inventory management to customs clearance. My ability to analyze data and optimize routes has consistently driven efficiency and compliance with regulations. I take pride in building strong relationships with service providers and ensuring timely delivery of shipments, which has been pivotal in achieving organizational goals.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strategic leadership, managing multidisciplinary teams and refining workflows to improve productivity and quality. My experience spans various sectors, including FMCG and fresh items, where I have successfully generated significant revenue and increased operational profitability. I am passionate about continuous improvement and employee development, which I believe are key to sustaining high levels of client satisfaction and operational excellence.
