Personal Stories
Periodically WISE hopes to provide a series of articles about a female logistician, the growth of her career, and her perspective on what it's like to be working in international humanitarian logistics.
"Logistics has no future" is something that Tabinda Syed heard numerous times from both colleagues and friends alike. In her personal story she tells how she changed from agreeing with this sentiment to seeing that there is another way.
"Women in Logistics". In this interview, Phoebe Kung'u, Oxfam Regional Supply Manager & Security Focal Point in Kenya, talks about her career in logistics.
The article first appeared in Oxfam's HECA Logistics bulletin in January 2009 and is reproduced with permission.
In "My Experience as a Woman Loggie", Eva Ntege Dhizaala
shares her experience of very wonderful moments and several low ones in different parts of the world during 18 years as a woman logistician.
