My name is Misheck Galileya, and I hold a Master in Procurement and Contract Management. I am a Procurement and Contract Management Specialist from Malawi with over 12 years of professional experience in the field.

Before enrolling in the course, I was already serving in senior procurement roles, overseeing donor-funded initiatives and large-scale infrastructure projects. While I had substantial practical experience, I recognized the need to further broaden my expertise and elevate my career trajectory.

I wanted to align my experience with global best practices and transition from operational procurement into more strategic decision-making roles.

I hoped to sharpen my analytical skills, enhance my decision-making, and position myself for higher-level responsibilities.

It strengthened my strategic mindset, sharpened my risk management skills, and gave me greater confidence in managing complex contracts and engaging stakeholders.

Yes, the modules on supply chain strategy and governance were particularly transformative, as they closely aligned to the projects I manage.

Upon successfully completing the program, I advanced into broader leadership roles, from   ranging from chairing procurement committees to strategically managing high-value contracts.

It creates equal opportunities by bridging the gap between local practices and global standards, empowering professionals in developing countries to compete on a global stage.

I would say invest in yourself. The right course can redefine how you approach challenges, boost your confidence, and open doors to new opportunities.
