What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can drive revenue, sales, and operational performance with strong planning and disciplined compliance. I want to coach high-performing teams, improve customer experience, and build partnerships that expand business.

I’m a result-oriented strategic business manager with 16 years leading inspired, dedicated multidiscipline teams across courier & postal services, asset management, and hospitality. I bring strong coordination, supervisory and team management skills, with clear communication and reporting that keeps stakeholders aligned.

In my recent roles, I’ve combined commercial leadership with disciplined execution—driving sales strategy, improving customer experience, and ensuring budgets are adhered to. As a General Manager, I managed financial, human, and assets for the training and conference section, prepared and monitored operational budgets, and developed marketing strategies while identifying bottlenecks and new business opportunities.

I’m also hands-on in operations and governance: I’ve overseen courier performance nationwide, supported quick-delivery mechanisms, implemented quality delivery systems, and monitored shipment movement from sender to receiver. In addition, I’ve built capability through recruitment, coaching, mentoring, and on-the-job trainings, and supported compliance through routine checks and procurement in line with policy desk regulations.
