About

With a robust background in procurement and supply chain management, I have excelled in various roles at Bandwidth and Cloud Services Group (BCS) from 2016 to 2023. As Head of Procurement, I managed large-scale, multi-country projects across Africa, optimizing procurement processes and reducing costs through strategic supplier prequalification and competitive bidding. Previously, as Procurement Logistics Manager, I enhanced vendor relationships and implemented effective procurement controls. My journey began as a Procurement & Logistics Assistant, where I honed my skills in contract preparation and supplier performance monitoring. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology and a Diploma in Project Management from the Kenya Institute of Management. Currently, I am pursuing a CIPS Advanced Practitioner Corporate Award to further deepen my expertise in procurement and supply.
