Summary

With more than 14 years of work experience both in Guinea and the United States of America, I have proudly served in the fulfillment, logistics, inventory, purchasing, operations management, and community and public relations fields, among others, in the mining and e-commerce industries. After working loyally for only two companies, Amazon and Société Minière de Dinguiraye, where I have overseen up to 84 employees at the time, I now own and run a small business in the transportation and logistics domains since October 1, 2024. I have always been enthusiastic about bringing positive impacts to my personal and professional environments, and I am determined to continue bringing the necessary energy to make my team a successful one in a participative and synergetic way.
