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.
Let's talk.

Whether you need a trusted sourcing specialist, procurement manager, or supply chain partner, I can help streamline your operations, reduce costs, and build a reliable global supply chain that supports your business growth.
Let's discuss how I can add value to your next project.
Logistics, Procurement & Global Supply Chain Specialist | 13+ Years of Experience | B2B, eCommerce, FBA, Retail
Are you facing challenges with:
High freight or warehousing costs?
Unreliable or inefficient suppliers?
Delays or miscommunication in your import/export operations?
Poor visibility over inventory across multiple sales channels or locations?
I specialize in solving these exact problems for growing businesses.
With over 13 years of experience managing end-to-end supply chain operations for clients in the US, Canada, UK, and the Middle East, I help businesses streamline procurement, logistics, and inventory flows—while reducing costs and increasing operational control.
What I Can Help You With:
Global Freight & Logistics Management
(Imports/Exports, Freight Booking, Freight Forwarder Liaison, Shipment Tracking, IncoTerms, Cost Optimization)
Procurement & Supplier Sourcing
(Negotiations, PO Management, Raw Materials & Finished Goods, China/Asia Sourcing)
3PL & Warehouse Coordination
(Inventory Visibility, Transfers, Order Fulfillment, FBA Prep, East/West Coast US & Canada coverage)
Inventory Planning
(Stock Reordering, Safety Stock, Lead Time Mapping, Overstock & Stockout Prevention)
Tools Expertise: Excel-based Planning Models, Power BI Dashboards, Amazon Seller Central, Shopify, ShipBob, ShipHero, Inventory Lab, Google Sheets Automations
While forecasting and demand planning is a skill I’ve worked with, my core strengths lie in logistics execution, procurement strategy, and warehousing operations—especially for small to mid-sized eCommerce businesses looking to scale.
Past Project Examples:
Set up full import/export & 3PL structure for a US-based consumer goods brand scaling from 2 to 8 containers/month.
Managed sourcing and shipping for a UK B2B client dealing in heavy machinery and packaging solutions.
Built a centralized procurement system for a Canadian skincare brand with 3 global suppliers and 2 fulfillment centers.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. I understand your business, your pain points, and tailor custom tools or processes that fit your model — whether that means streamlining how you reorder SKUs or finding you better 3PL rates.
Happy to chat about how I can help simplify and optimize your supply chain.
