I am a Logistics, Supply Chain, and Project Management specialist with two decades of experience. my expertise spans across procurement, logistics, and enhancing customer experiences. I have honed my skills, knowledge, and experience through engagements with prominent Global Market leaders in shipping and logistics i.e. Maersk Line and Kuehne+ Nagel on the supply side of the supply chain function.
Additionally, I have gained valuable insights from working with Kenya’s leading IT and Media Services Provider, Wananchi Group, and KSB Pumps and Valves, a global industry leader in the manufacturing, sales, and maintenance of pumps and equipment for fresh Water and sanitation management, Mining, Oil, and Gas Industries, on the demand side of the supply chain.
