STORIES

Faith Rotich

The GLMP programme was an excellent opportunity that launched my career in the logistics and supply chain sector. I gained a wealth of experience from working closely with industry leaders. It inspired me to upskill and since then I have delved into supply chain process improvement and became a Certified Supply Chain Analyst. I am currently preparing to commence an MSc in Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Being part of the programme was transformative in the best way and for that I am sincerely grateful.

It’s a pleasure to hear that the GLMP programme continues to flourish, and I’m glad to share an update on my career progression since completing the programme.

As part of the GLMP, I had the opportunity to rotate through all departments within the company, gaining a broad understanding of the industry and its operations. This diverse exposure, especially in handling import documentation like letters of credit, has been crucial in shaping my career. Now, as a Credit Analyst, I use the knowledge and insights from the programme to assess the creditworthiness of applicants for letters of credit and other credit instruments.

The well- rounded experience from the GLMP has greatly improved my ability to handle credit analysis, allowing me to approach my role with a better perspective. I would like to give special thanks to Mr.

Priyeen Jethwa, who continued to mentor me when I joined the Sales department after the programme. His passion for sales and business development was truly inspiring and valuable.

Thank you once again for the invaluable opportunity to be part of the GLMP. I look forward to hearing about the programme’s continued success.

Thank you.
