About

I am a dynamic business leader with 11+ years of global experience driving innovation, data-driven decision-making, and operational excellence across Germany and India. My expertise bridges product management, data analytics, and operations, enabling me to deliver measurable business outcomes. Currently, as IT Business Partner at TE Connectivity, I serve as a key stakeholder to Product Management — identifying strategic opportunities, evaluating strategic value, and leading cross-functional teams (matrix setup) to execute high-impact initiatives. I specialize in integrating AI and analytics to automate processes, optimize decision-making, and enhance business performance. Previously, at Asteria Aerospace, I led overall operations for supply chain, inventory, and production planning, working closely with both white- and blue-collar teams. I expanded the team over time, providing leadership and direction while collaborating with team leads to manage frontline operations. I spearheaded SAP ERP implementation, improved supply chain and inventory processes, strengthened supplier quality, and drove plant feasibility projects — delivering significant operational and cost efficiencies. Across roles, I combine deep technical expertise with business acumen, working closely with senior stakeholders to translate business needs into actionable solutions. I thrive in environments where innovation, strategy, and leadership intersect — driving transformation, improving performance, and fostering continuous improvement. I’m passionate about leveraging data, technology, and leadership to shape business growth, and I’m always open to connecting with leaders and teams looking to create meaningful impact.

Thesis Student

Dec 2021May 2022 · 5 mos · Bensheim, Hesse, Germany

  • Conducted a master’s thesis project focused on optimizing capacity allocation and expansion across multiple production sites for connector manufacturing. This research addressed real-world production planning challenges in a dynamic, multi-location environment with fluctuating demand and constrained resources.
  • Key Highlights:
  • Developed an optimization framework using Integer Linear Programming (ILP) to model manufacturing and shipping decisions across diverse product lines and geographies.
  • Tackled constraints such as limited tool capacity, product-tool compatibility, and cost trade-offs between unmet demand and capital investment in new tools.
  • Evaluated multiple model complexities through sensitivity analysis, providing insights into production cost drivers and investment impact.
  • Delivered actionable recommendations for improved capacity utilization, reduced loss of sales risk, and smarter expansion strategies — supporting long-term planning initiatives.
