@syedfakirnawaz
I grow freight operations, improve fulfillment, and deliver profitable global logistics.
What I'm looking for
I've grown freight revenue and capacity across global logistics operations, including increasing revenue by USD 60K at SolitAir Cargo and improving load factor from 72% to 89%. At Oman Air Cargo, I led a 20–30-person operations team to deliver 2,000+ tons uplift and USD 1.5M profit.
I've managed air freight, U.S. FTL/LTL brokerage, and US–Canada–EU inventory flows, using EDI automation through SPS Commerce and CommerceHub to cut errors by 90% and save USD 50K annually. I bring Six Sigma Green Belt discipline to carrier negotiations, trade-lane development, compliance, fulfillment performance, and freight-spend management.
