Hareesh Pattipati — CEO

I build durable product businesses by aligning portfolio strategy, platform leverage, and cross-functional operating rhythms with Finance, Ops, and GTM to move company-level outcomes—revenue, margin, and cost-to-serve. I’ve led platform transformations in retail supply chain (inventory, order orchestration, integrations, MDM) and cloud infrastructure, managing managers-of-managers across geos to ship outcomes at scale. By the numbers: ~40% reduction in reroutes • low double-digit drop in inaccurate inventory (avoiding high 8-figure cancellations) • throughput scaled ~4× • onboarding ~⅓ faster with ~3× supplier adoption • nine-figure pipeline influence. Signature plays: Platform modernization (AI/ML, streaming/event-driven) • API & integrations uplift tied to business outcomes • Org building (managers-of-managers) • Operating cadence (OKRs, MBR/QBR, product reviews) • Executive/customer partnership to turn strategy into measurable results. Domains & focus: OMS (Order Management) • WMS (Fulfillment) • Inventory accuracy • Omnichannel orchestration • Vendor integrations / EDI • Master Data / MDM • S&OP / forecast partnership • Throughput & latency engineering • Cost-to-serve optimization • Elasticity/resiliency at scale • Streaming / event-driven architectures • AI-assisted exceptions. Currently: leading platform modernization and early agentic commerce initiatives at Gap Inc. US citizen; no sponsorship required.
