Mustafa Mendes

Procurement & Logistics Specialist

Summary

With a foundation in English Language and Literature from TED University, supported by complementary studies in International Relations, I have successfully transitioned into the procurement and logistics field at Form Construction, where I have been contributing since March 2023. My role allows me to leverage my strong communication abilities and fluent spoken English to strengthen our import and export processes. Additionally, my experience as an International Educational Counselor at YMCA Hayo-Went-Ha Camps enhanced my cultural awareness, adaptability, and interpersonal skills. This blend of analytical, logistical, and cross-cultural competencies now informs my work in a highly interconnected marketplace, enabling me to support team efficiency and drive operational success.
