Summary

As an experienced global supply chain, customs, and international trade compliance (export and import) professional, who has a proven track record to meet organizational goals and deadlines, has been tested over time while working in both domestic and international positions that have increased in responsibility. In every position I have held, I'm proud to say I have performed at my utmost best. Often, I won't leave the office until all tasks are completed by the end of the day to ensure the best service for my clients. What really separates me from other candidates is my supply chain and trade compliance experience in Mining, Chemicals, Aviation, Automotive, Pharmaceuticals, and FMCG industries. Also, my commitment to hard work and kaizen - continuous improvement with a cost-saving mindset.
