If there is one thing I would do only for the joy it brings me, it would be connecting with people and building relationships. In my experience, being a sincere and down-to-earth person will gain you traction in any conversation. Add in a sense of humour and a smile, and you've got the whole room paying attention to what you have to say. That's who I try to be everyday, the best version of myself. Being a Project Manager has been like learning to drive a stick-shift car. It can be difficult to get things going because you have to rely on so many moving parts. But once you can engage the right people, motivate them to action their deliverables and meet the project timeline, its just as satisfying as a perfectly executed up-shift into sixth gear as you begin to relax into a cruising speed. I enjoy being a facilitator, motivator and even being the bad-guy if needed. I've grown to trust my colleagues and partners and being able to rely on them has allowed me to take on complex projects at my current role. If I were to highlight the single most rewarding moment of my time as a Project Manager, I would immediately point to a piece of feedback from one of my clients - "Fardeen has a calming effect in high-stress situations". Growing up, I never had the sparkly grades. But when I got off the plane in Toronto back in 2010, suddenly my perspective had changed. Almost felt like I had aged 16 years over my 16 hour flight. I put myself into high gear and completed high school as an Ontario Scholar and headed for a Bachelor's in Nanotechnology Engineering at the University of Waterloo. What was going to be 5 year journey in education, took a total of almost 7 as I graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts. Although I did not complete the Engineering program, looking back now I realize that I had learned so much! I had dipped my toes in such a magnificent variety of courses and topics that I gained a love for learning that remains strong to this day. Although hope is not a project plan, I do hope to connect with leaders and cohorts in the Logistics, Warehousing and 3PL industries to expand my horizons and build a career I can be proud of.

Project ManagerUps Healthcare Nov 2021 - Mar 2024Burlington, Ontario, CanadaAs a seasoned project manager, I specialize in overseeing new revenue and software conversion initiatives for both new and existing clients. I guide projects through all phases, from initiation and planning to testing, execution, and closure. Collaborating with cross-functional subject matter experts, I determine project scope, goals, deliverables, and timelines. Effective communication is a cornerstone of my approach, as I track and convey project goals to internal and client teams, stakeholders, and senior leaders. Regular project calls, both internal and joint, are hosted and led by me to monitor progress, identify risks, and develop mitigation plans. Steering committee calls with domestic and global leaders, clients, and stakeholders are also within my purview. I actively develop risk assessment profiles, change control protocols, and leverage lessons learned trackers to ensure project objectives are met. Notable projects include successful closures with clients like Abbott ARDx, Abbott ADC, Moderna, and NovoNordisk. Operating with an Agile project management approach, I uphold financial accountability by tracking project spend against contractual agreements and reporting to stakeholders. Providing hyper-care support during project execution ensures immediate issue resolution and client satisfaction. Additionally, I conduct post-mortem analyses of projects, drawing lessons learned to make recommendations for future endeavors. Complementing my extensive experience, I have completed various courses based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide to continually enhance my project management skills. -
Core Warehouse Supervisor And Finished Inventory SupervisorPepsico Jun 2019 - Sep 2021Kitchener, Ontario, CanadaIn my role, I successfully built a robust client network, primarily in the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge area, by collaborating closely with Sales Representatives and business owners. This effort led to substantial sales growth, with highlighted stores experiencing a remarkable 180% increase in sales volume. Additionally, I managed business profiles for PepsiCo clients, ensuring effective communication on issues like product availability and meeting sales quotas through the implementation of rewards-based programs with smaller businesses. As a key member of the conversion team, I played a pivotal role in transforming the London site into a Geographic Enterprise Solutions (GES) location, resulting in a remarkable 200% increase in sales and throughput capabilities. The integration involved collaboration with Dematic hardware and in-house software developed by PepsiCo in conjunction with SAP. Furthermore, I enhanced the capabilities of the Cambridge site, enabling it to carry a wider range of products and reducing costs by approximately $25,000 per week by eliminating the need to import products from out-of-state plants. Managing multiple priorities, such as at-risk offloads and critical loadouts, I consistently achieved a target sales invoice fill rate of 98.5%. My strong verbal and written communication skills were evident in leading meetings on shift and sending detailed shift-handoff emails focused on improving product throughput, floor efficiency, and safety. Additionally, I demonstrated analytical prowess by designing and implementing strategies and work instructions, including the GES Hold/Recall Procedure, Post-Whse Track and Trace, Repack Guidelines, Top Belt Down Protocol, and Product Insertion and Weight-Out Procedures. Overseeing a team of over 30 union employees in a swift shipment handling environment, I excelled at problem-solving to increase sales while adhering to budgetary objectives, as evidenced by delivering $205,000 under budget in mid-2021.
