Your EU 3PL either can't scale with you or is quietly overbilling you. I fix that — vetted providers, audited costs, EORI/VAT sorted. State-licensed customs agent (#018622), 11 yrs EU logistics.
If your fulfilment costs are rising, service levels are slipping, inventory is unreliable, or you are preparing to expand into the EU, I provide the structure, vendor accountability, and operational support needed to move forward with confidence.
My work combines 3PL sourcing, cost analysis, vendor management, cross-border logistics, and hands-on project coordination.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
3PL SELECTION & VENDOR MANAGEMENT
→ Identify and shortlist suitable 3PL and fulfilment providers
→ Prepare RFQs and collect comparable commercial offers
→ Normalize rate cards, storage fees, pick-and-pack costs, shipping rates, and returns charges
→ Conduct vendor due diligence and operational capability assessments
→ Evaluate SLAs, cut-off times, onboarding requirements, contract terms, and risk
→ Negotiate commercial terms and coordinate provider onboarding
→ Build vendor scorecards, KPI frameworks, and review processes
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FULFILMENT COST CONTROL & OPERATIONS
→ Audit 3PL invoices and identify billing errors or hidden charges
→ Analyze fulfilment cost per order, SKU, parcel, channel, or destination
→ Review warehouse performance, inventory accuracy, order delays, and SLA failures
→ Compare parcel carriers, freight providers, and fulfilment models
→ Support 3PL transitions and operational cutovers
→ Create SOPs, escalation processes, reporting structures, and corrective-action plans
→ Provide ongoing fractional 3PL and supply chain management
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EU FULFILMENT & MARKET ENTRY
→ Compare fulfilment locations in Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, and other EU markets
→ Assess landed costs, logistics risks, shipping coverage, and customer delivery times
→ Coordinate EORI, VAT, VAT OSS, customs, Incoterms, and import requirements
→ Work with licensed customs brokers, tax advisers, freight forwarders, and 3PL providers
→ Support Shopify, Amazon FBA, multi-channel, and direct-to-consumer fulfilment operations
→ Develop import, fulfilment, returns, and launch-readiness playbooks
→ Coordinate cross-functional market-entry projects from planning through launch
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHO I WORK WITH
E-commerce brands and international businesses that:
→ Are selecting or replacing a European 3PL
→ Need better control over fulfilment costs and service quality
→ Are expanding from the US, UK, or Canada into the EU
→ Need independent support when comparing logistics vendors
→ Lack internal supply chain resources for a critical project
→ Want clear recommendations supported by commercial and operational analysis
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I'm a PharmD with an MSc in Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs from SETU Carlow, and I've spent the last two and a half years working directly inside regulated pharmaceutical and medical device environments in Ireland, not consulting from the outside.
At Siemens Healthineers, I worked as a QA/QC Technician on Atellica immunoassay and clinical chemistry analyser manufacturing, under ISO 13485:2016 and EU IVDR. I investigated non-conformances and product quality issues, including tracing a reagent loader arm failure across multiple units back to a camera module batch defect, and I worked CAPA records through to closure. I was a SAP QM power user for quality status management and batch traceability, and I applied ISO 14971 risk-based thinking to determine escalation and containment decisions.
At Wasdell Europe / PCI Pharma Services, a CDMO packaging multi-client pharmaceutical products under EU cGMP and HPRA oversight, I worked in an ISO 8 cleanroom on environmental monitoring. I identified an adverse particulate trend across three consecutive monitoring cycles and escalated it before any action limit was breached, which became a HIGH-priority CAPA. I traced the root cause to gowning non-compliance, led the retraining and audit programme that corrected it, and the fix was confirmed effective at three-month review with zero recurrence. I also executed 120+ GMP batch records and supported HPRA/EMA inspection readiness.
Most recently, at Genuine Homecare, I built an ISO 9001-aligned quality management system from scratch for a HIQA-regulated home care provider — consolidating the entire policy and procedure library, designing a new SharePoint-based document control system, and supervising compliance monitoring across care staff. That role has since ended, but the system I built is real and complete.
What I bring to a project:
Real experience investigating non-conformances, running CAPA lifecycles, and closing quality events, not just documenting them
ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 QMS design and documentation, built from the inside of regulated manufacturing and healthcare environments
EU cGMP, EU IVDR, and HIQA regulatory framework knowledge, grounded in daily practice, not just my MSc coursework
SOP writing, deviation investigation (5 Whys, A3 Fishbone), and audit preparation support
I'm honest about scope. What I bring is real regulated-environment quality work with documented outcomes.

Your cargo is stuck at customs.
Your freight is being rolled over to next week's vessel due to a documentation error that was not caught in time.
Your DG shipment has been rejected due to incorrect DGD or MSDS.
I fix these problems before they happen.
A Seasoned Global Logistics Specialist with over 5+ years of experience in handling import and export operations. Every day, I manage end-to-end operations for a Fortune 500 Sportwear brand. From FCA movements to full documentation, carrier coordination, cargo planning, and zero-error compliance for shipments of around 100-120 FFEs per week to US, EU, and EM regions.
If your shipments are being held, rejected, delayed, or fined, the problem is almost always due to issues with the documentation or compliance process. That's where I come in.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT I DO FOR YOU
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📋 Import & Export Documentation Review & Correction
Your BoL, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, and Shipping Instructions are audited line by line and corrected before your cargo ships. One error can cost you a vessel. I make sure it never happens.
☣️ Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD) Preparation
Full DGD preparation and IMDG compliance review for chemical, hazmat, pharmaceutical, and ISO tank shipments. Carrier rejections are expensive. I eliminate them.
🔍 Import & Export Compliance Audit
A complete review of your current import & export process, every gap identified, every risk flagged, before customs or your carrier does it for you.
📊 Incoterms Advisory
Most SMEs use the incorrect Incoterm and only discover it when the cost dispute arises. I tell you exactly which term protects you, in plain language, with a written recommendation.
📝 Logistics SOP Writing
Clear, step-by-step process documents for your export or import operations — written from real daily ops experience, not a textbook.
🚢 Freight & Carrier Advisory
Carrier selection, booking coordination, shipment exception handling, and escalation management — the operational muscle behind every clean shipment.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHO I WORK BEST WITH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ E-commerce brands shipping internationally for the first time
✦ Importers and exporters cross-trade goods.
✦ Chemical, pharmaceutical, and hazmat companies needing DG compliance
✦ Importers sourcing from Pakistan, South Asia, or beyond
✦ Any business that has experienced customs delays, DG rejections, or documentation surprises and never wants it to happen again.
Currently, I'm also executing time-critical ocean freight for a major international 2026 sporting event, where one wrong document means a missed deadline in front of a global audience. Zero margin for error. That's the standard I work to, every single day.
I don't consult from a course.
I manage real freight, for real brands, under real pressure — every single day at Maersk.
When you hire me, you get that same level of precision applied to your shipment.
