What I'm looking for

I'm seeking humanitarian supply chain and logistics leadership roles supporting emergency, health, displacement and conflict-response operations, including repeated national and international deployments to hard-to-reach and remote field locations.

I've led emergency supply chains for Médecins Sans Frontières, World Vision International, ICRC, Medair International, Virunga Foundation and EPER Switzerland across the DRC, Chad, Niger and South Sudan. My work has kept medical, WASH, food and NFI supplies moving through conflict, displacement and outbreak responses.

I've managed portfolios up to USD 2.3M, delivered 120+ tons of relief cargo through urgent convoys, established pre-positioning hubs that reduced response times by 40%, and strengthened procurement, warehousing, fleet, asset and transport systems. I bring a practical commitment to compliance, cost control, staff coaching, integrity and uninterrupted supply in hard-to-reach operations.
