Summary

An educated, informed, and competent Logistics Manager who has a long track record of delivering the right products, in the right quantities, to the right location, and at the right time. Marline is organized, process-driven, and can develop efficient logistics procedures. In my long career, I have had extensive exposure to first-tier logistics and manufacturing supply chain management. Am pro-active and able to keep numerous plates spinning without losing focus on the customer’s requirements. As a proven leader can quickly establish clear expectations from junior staff, and I do this by demonstrating high standards of work practices and having a safety-conscious attitude. I always encourage colleagues to work cross functionally, and not stop at the boundaries of their job description. Right now, I want to be part of a successful operation and to work for a company where there will be significant career development opportunities.
