I’m a supply chain and procurement professional with 10 years of progressive experience leading end-to-end sourcing, contracting, inventory, and logistics operations for a large public-sector health system. I focus on balancing cost efficiency, compliance, and reliable service delivery.

At the County Government of Kiambu, I manage vendor sourcing, RFQ administration, and tender evaluation for high-value and specialized purchases using structured procurement methodology and supplier performance benchmarking. I also negotiate supplier and contract performance against KPIs, contributing to a 10% reduction in recurring expenditure through pre-RFQ market surveys.

I maintain full inventory and stock control across facilities—forecasting demand, coordinating distribution, and overseeing storage—to achieve the lowest recorded stock losses across the department’s tenure. I’ve built and rolled out framework agreements that streamlined repeat purchasing and delivered 100% compliance with the Annual Procurement Plan (2021) through stronger cost-control policy enforcement.

I coach and train procurement staff and partner offices on inventory systems and supply chain best practices, and I coordinate local and international purchasing, customs clearing, and forwarding to support on-time delivery and continuity of critical supplies. I’m CIPS-qualified (Level V) with an MSc in Procurement and Logistics, and I’m now seeking to apply this foundation in a private-sector supply chain role—open to starting at an entry to mid-level position (e.g., Supply Chain Coordinator, Procurement Analyst, Logistics Associate) to build private-industry experience.
