My role, as the Head of Nordics Supply Chain Practice at TCS, involves orchestrating effective collaborations with various TCS business units and strategic partners, ensuring the seamless delivery of transformative supply chain projects. I have steered multiple successful bids for supply chain transformation projects, particularly in the planning, logistics, and procurement domains.In my consulting role, I use my problem-solving skills to simplify complex processes and workflows into manageable and understandable components for example I spearheaded a team of six in creating innovative solutions that seamlessly integrated project-based operations with financial flows. This resulted in cutting down the lead time from work completion to billing by more than 50%, which not only streamlined project operations but had a significant financial impact. I use my enterprise architecture and digital skills to bring process, technology, and design thinking together and drive digital transformation for example I designed, architected, and led a 20-member team in developing a cutting-edge procure-to-pay solution. This solution, which integrates multiple functions and tools including SAP, cloud-based platforms, APIs, low code, and AI, streamlines the purchasing process and reduces significant waste. I use my digital product management skills to engage with users, solution owners, and key stakeholders to deeply understand business requirements, define critical priorities, and foster cross-organizational collaboration to deliver integrated solutions. I have delivered integrated solutions that resonated with core business needs and customer expectations and secured a 100% increase in product adoption rates by aligning product features with core business needs and customer expectations

As a Senior Engagement Manager in the TCS supply chain consulting organization, I led project teams, managed client relationships, and delivered innovative supply chain solutions. My role involved overseeing complex projects, driving business development, and ensuring solutions align with client objectives while maintaining a focus on operational excellence and sustainable growth.I also excelled in spearheading transformative initiatives for a top-tier telecom manufacturing company. My primary focus encompassed multi-year end-to-end order-to-cash transformation, optimization of supply chain planning processes, and the strategic implementation of digital solutions to improve key order-to-cash metrics.

I used my project management skills to design efficient project plans and then facilitate their execution on time and within budget. I led multiple global projects, including the order to cash transformation and lead time reduction program, all of which were completed within the allocated timeframes and budget constraints.

My expertise in supply chain management and analytics helped me in conducting swift and thorough assessments of client’s supply chain dynamics. A notable achievement includes leading a 5-member team in a comprehensive end-to-end evaluation, culminating in a strategic business case. This success stemmed from implementing a series of strategic initiatives, including the integration of segmented supply chain policies, the adoption of advanced forecasting models using COTS tools, the development of a multi-echelon inventory model, and the establishment of optimized stocking policies across various locations.I enhanced demand planning and Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) frameworks, and successfully developed and deployed a SAP APO planning solution.
