As a seasoned supply chain expert, I leveraged my career progression from FMCG manufacturing to construction oil and gas and import/export in Nigeria to develop a comprehensive understanding of the industry. I collaborate with a talented team of professionals to drive operational excellence and cultural growth, interfacing with international partners across the globe, including South Africa, Dubai UAE, Spain, United States, United Kingdom, Mauritius, and Lebanon. With a proven track record in procurement, I excel in: - Strategic cost reduction (15% decrease in running costs, resulting in increased year-end dividends) - Lean procurement and price reduction strategies (drastic cost savings) - Supply chain management (order placement to delivery and warehousing) - SAP ERP proficiency (purchase requisitions to purchase orders and deliveries) Beyond my professional accomplishments, I am passionate about empowering youth and teenagers through my leadership role at Brace Youth Network, an NGO focused on capacity development and mentorship.
