What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values safety culture and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated and results-driven QHSE Practitioner with over 10 years of experience leading the implementation of integrated Quality, Health, Safety, and Environmental management systems. My proven track record in ensuring regulatory compliance and driving continuous improvement has fostered a strong safety culture across diverse industries. I am skilled in risk assessment, system audits, and team leadership, committed to operational excellence and environmental sustainability.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for delivering measurable impact through strategic HSEQ initiatives. At Unilever Ghana, I supervised health, safety, and environmental issues during the installation of critical plants, achieving zero non-conformance in ISO audits. My leadership at Coca-Cola Beverages Africa earned my plant the title of Best in Health and Safety among 26 others, showcasing my ability to drive high-performance standards.
