Message

At Black Sand Distribution, I manage end-to-end delivery for 60–80 orders a month and work with around 30 suppliers. Together with the Purchasing Manager, I secured USD 175K in rebates and discounts in 2025.

I build the supplier base by researching products and comparing prices and margins. I also maintain product information and launch new products on the company web portal and Shopify.

Previously, at DISCOVA, I developed international education partnerships and adapted programmes for different markets. At LexisNexis Legal, I worked on business development and marketing for a new SaaS product in Southeast Asia.
