I am a proactive individual who is a team -player, creative problem-solver, and carries a passion for category management, market research, planning- supply & demand, agile methodologies, sales, project management, operations, and people. Currently, I am working as a Category Manager in the Supplier Relationship Management team at FedEx Services to manage Supplier Sustainability initiatives, Supplier Diversity reporting, and Closed-loop Governance process across sourcing organization. I have led many process improvement projects ranging from Taxonomy Guidelines process document creation to streamlined process creation of attending Supplier Diversity conferences. Prior to joining FedEx, I worked at an impact investing firm to design their supply chain operations for US market. For my summer internship, I worked at Fall Call Solutions, a company operating in an IoT field, to build a 3-year product strategy, build a go-to-market strategy, and present a comprehensive business plan to investors for the next round of funding. Prior to my MBA, I have 5 years of work experience with a $200B Global Petrochemical company called Reliance Industries Limited where I garnered exposure across different functions such as Procurement, B2B Sales, Planning, Operations, and Project Management. As a Deputy Manager, I was part of Reliance's coveted Business Transformation project for implementing SAP PLM solution and was responsible for carrying out critical benchmarking projects for the company. As a Manager, I was responsible for managing the biggest territory of the country worth $ 610.7 M, serving clients across different industries such as automotive (OEM/Tier-1), appliance, and flexible packaging and engaging in different operations activities such as pricing, forecasting of a new product, and introduction of new packaging design. As a person, I prefer leading from the front to inspire teams that I lead, maximizing revenues through efficient operations, and developing new accounts. This is primarily on account of my long-term thinking approach so that I could create maximum value for all the stakeholders.
