About

Hi, I’m Stephen. My career journey has taken me from the bustling retail floors and warehouses of Dubai to leading supply chain operations across multiple countries. Throughout this journey, I’ve learned one key lesson: data is a powerful tool that transforms supply chains and drives business success. Long before data became a buzzword, I was already leveraging it to tackle real-world challenges and foster meaningful change.

During my internship at a leading oil services company, I tested drilling fluids and meticulously recorded results in Excel. Although I didn’t realise it at the time, those spreadsheets played a crucial role in influencing production decisions. This experience opened my eyes to how data can tell compelling stories and guide critical outcomes.

Later, while working in retail and warehousing in the UAE, I turned to data again to address practical challenges. As a Store Assistant, I noticed our company was losing money on shopping trolleys. Instead of just voicing concerns, I tracked trolley usage during peak and off-peak hours, experimented with availability, and presented my findings to management. This initiative not only saved the company a significant amount but also led to my promotion within a year.

My career progressed through various roles in warehouse operations, team leadership, and logistics management, playing key roles in scaling operations, ensuring stock accuracy, leading diverse teams, and managing logistics, all while relying on data insights and ERP/WMS systems.

Today, I identify as a Supply Chain Professional with a Data-Driven Edge, holding certifications in International Supply Chain Professional/Manager (CISCP/CISCM) and soon, a Diploma in Data Analysis (AltSchool Africa), to further enhance my technical skills.

What truly motivates me is witnessing the tangible impact of data and strategy in everyday operations—whether it’s a smoother-running warehouse, preventing stockouts, or enabling leadership to make informed decisions based on insights I provide.

I bring a strong foundation in logistics, forecasting, procurement, and ERP/WMS systems, combined with my expertise in data analytics tools like Power BI, SQL, Python, and Excel. This unique blend empowers businesses to make informed decisions that save costs and enhance efficiency.

If you’re looking for:
-someone who has navigated the retail landscape
-led warehouse operations
-scaled supply chain and logistics operations,
-and now blends that experience with advanced analytics to deliver results
-or a data Analyst
I would love to connect!
