Their stories, rooted in resilience and passion, are testaments to the incredible potential of young women in transforming industries once seen as unwelcoming to them.

Nelly Nazy Samini: A Strategic Mind in Motion

Nelly’s journey into the T&L sector started with her fascination for solving complex logistical challenges and her natural ability to streamline operations. She quickly realized that efficient business management lies at the heart of any successful transport company, whether it’s ensuring the smooth flow of goods, onboarding trucks, or managing dispatching and tracking shipments. Nelly’s early experience in administrative support opened her eyes to the critical role effective communication and resource allocation play in achieving operational success.

Her response in the She Delivers program mirrors the challenges faced by many companies today, but with Nelly’s keen insight into optimization, she has become a rising star in her department. Nelly explained, “By integrating real-time tracking systems and creating automated alerts for drivers and dispatch teams, I’ve been able to minimize delays and improve overall efficiency. It’s thrilling to be part of a sector that’s fast-paced and ever-evolving.”

Nelly’s passion for optimizing resources and reducing inefficiencies has made her a pioneer in applying lean management and technology integration to improve operational efficiency. She credits her success to the mentorship and skills she’s developed through She Delivers, proving that young women can lead with innovative solutions in logistics.

Gloria Muthoka: The Visionary Architect of Streamlined Logistics

For Gloria Muthoka, her journey into business management began with a deep-seated curiosity about the global movement of goods. “I’ve always been fascinated by the complex network that allows businesses to operate efficiently,” she shared, reflecting on how her curiosity evolved into a focus on improving efficiency, reducing costs, and creating sustainable growth within the logistics industry.

Gloria’s approach to business management is rooted in strategic partnerships and embracing technology to drive change. Through her She Delivers internship, she has been able to implement lean management principles at a large distribution center, where delays and bottlenecks were causing significant inefficiencies. By targeting team development and integrating a warehouse management system, Gloria transformed the center into a more efficient and cost-effective operation. “I realized that investing in my team’s skills and technology could transform the entire operation, and that’s where I’ve seen the most impact,” she remarked.

Like Nelly, Gloria sees the future of T&L as one that embraces sustainability and digitalization. She believes in harnessing automation, whether through drones, robotic process automation, or predictive analytics, to drive the next era of logistics. Her insights are forward-thinking and transformative, capturing the essence of what the She Delivers program stands for: equipping women with the skills to revolutionize industries and create lasting impact.
