About

With over 12 years of experience in logistics, I am a versatile and results-driven professional specializing in strategic thinking, budgeting, and business transformation. My expertise lies in general management, digital technology, supply chain management, and process improvement. As the former Vice President of Information Technology & Digitalization at Royal Cargo Inc., I successfully oversaw the ICT Department supporting all Philippine and global locations. I reported directly to the President and was responsible for setting company-wide standards, optimizing operational costs, and devising mid and long-term solutions. My expertise lies in general management, strategic thinking, budgeting, business transformation, and team management. Additionally, I have a strong background in digital technology, supply chain management, international logistics, and business process improvement. Armed with a Bachelor of Engineering in Logistics from Wilhelm Büchner Hochschule (Germany), I am now seeking new opportunities as a General Manager, Vice President or Director where I can apply my skills and make a positive impact on an organization's success. Let's connect to explore how we can collaborate!
