Passionate MIS Reporting Specialist with 8+ years of experience.
Passionate MIS Reporting Specialist with 8+ years of experience. My typical day entails co-ordinating all port performance reports (across 8 ports). I consolidate these reports for effective trend analysis and recommendations to the business. Working with 8 different ports has awarded me an opportunity to build relationships with my peers and other stakeholders within the different ports. I have also acquired a lot of business acumen in the process. The main challenge about my job is the inability of the systems to produce quality data and the human factor during the data capturing.
Pros: My current position has opened up an opportunity to build working relationships with different stakeholders from different ports and different business units. This has opened up a lot of room for learning and growth and understanding the business even further.
Cons: The main challenge about my job is the inability of the systems to produce quality data and the human factor during the data capturing.
