When a vaccine needs to reach a child in a crisis zone, or a government needs to clear critical supplies through customs faster — that is the problem I solve. 18+ years building the logistics infrastructure behind some of the world's most critical humanitarian operations.

About
I have spent 18 years doing one thing: making sure the right supplies reach the right people at the right time — in some of the world's most complex and high-stakes environments.
At UNICEF Bangladesh, I ran a dual mandate that few professionals hold simultaneously — institutional contracting of a USD 60M+ annual procurement portfolio alongside full operational responsibility for vaccine logistics, emergency preparedness, and offshore supply management. That means I understand both the contractual architecture and the last-mile reality.
My most defining experience was serving as Supply & Logistics Emergency Focal during Cyclone REMAL — mobilising USD 1.26M in prepositioned supplies across 35 warehouses to reach 156,000 people, including 50,000 Rohingya, within 72 hours. That kind of outcome is not accidental. It is the product of years of systems-building, relationship capital, and relentless attention to prepositioning.
Today I serve as Independent Consultant to the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation (GATF) — a World Economic Forum initiative, validating the feasibility of trade facilitation interventions to reduce customs and regulatory delays on humanitarian imports into Bangladesh — under the ADEPT Programme, with Bangladesh selected as one of 15 global priority countries.
I am available for P2–P4 UN engagements, consultancies, and advisory roles globally. If your operation needs supply chain leadership that combines strategic thinking with operational depth — I am ready.
