What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue leading high-value, cross-border procurement and business development, building supplier and client relationships while delivering compliant, cost-effective projects in the UAE and international markets.

At Grand Group FZC, I manage procurement for projects exceeding $2M, including solar irrigation and more than $1M in medical equipment. I also independently delivered over $850K in computers and audiovisual equipment across East Africa within six months.

Across East Africa and the UAE, I've built supplier and client relationships, led bids and tenders, negotiated contracts, and grown operations in mining, healthcare, technology, agriculture, logistics, and trading.
