With my past experience, my portfolio includes overseeing all the transport & logistics operations for the African Region and parts of South East Asia. This included trucking/airfreight/seafreight to all major centres where our operations dictate and demanded. My experience has been gained through my exposure to different levels within my organization, thus giving me a complete understanding of the various roles and the competencies required to successfully perform within various positions. With my present function, I understand the need for long hours and extensive travel, and with most companies and projects demanding a "JIT" principle puts added pressure on the company or individual. I am no stranger to such expectations and I have built up experience and expertise while on the job. Part of my portfolio also including traveling to project sites in West Africa and the APAC Region for preparations of mobilizations in time before a project startup. Working for an international organization it was paramount that we strived for cost savings and to ensure that processes are reviewed to either simplify the function but also to ensure the customer needs are taken care of at all times. I have also been on numerous staff management courses which assisted in motivating and maximizing the potential of staff through the right performance management tools I have 15 years’ experience within the logistics/procurement field and 5 years of management expertise.
