A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Logistics at my core.
Leadership in practice.

Download my CV

Logistics is the foundation of my career. My strength is combining detailed operational knowledge with the wider responsibilities of a manager.

I’ve managed goods receiving, warehouse operations, inventory control, workforce planning and supplier coordination. I understand the daily pressures of logistics — aligning resources, maintaining accurate stock records, preparing teams and responding when plans change.

My experience also includes workforce planning, staff development, operational leadership and project delivery. I work with colleagues, customers and suppliers to establish priorities, resolve operational issues and improve working methods. My finance and accounting background helps me connect operational decisions with business needs.

Practical leadership education, a trade certificate in logistics and health and safety training support my management experience. I’m also completing a bachelor’s in Digital Assurance & Security Management (DASM) at Noroff. My studies are strengthening my knowledge of information security, data governance and IT risk, building on my practical work with business systems, operational data and technical equipment.
