About

Who am I? A "Hustler" who is patient, mentally strong and has strong sense of moral and ethical values. As a results-driven supply chain and demand planning professional, I bring over 7 years of cross-industry experience driving operational excellence and digital transformation across global FMCG, pharma, and energy sectors. My journey spans meaningful roles at Shell, GSK, and National Foods, where I’ve successfully led high impact demand planning functions, implemented SAP IBP systems, and optimized S&OP processes to deliver measurable gains in forecast accuracy, budget control, and customer satisfaction. With an academic foundation in Electronics Engineering and an MBA in General Management, I thrive at the intersection of data, systems, and strategic decision making. I’ve consistently demonstrated my ability to lead cross functional teams, bridge commercial and technical domains, and build scalable forecasting and planning solutions that support long-term business growth. I’m passionate about building resilient supply chains, leveraging advanced analytics for smarter planning, and fostering stakeholder collaboration to drive sustainable results. Whether it's driving digital innovation or enhancing forecasting precision, I approach challenges with a blend of analytical rigor, curiosity, and execution focus. Let’s connect if you're looking to discuss supply chain and commercial transformation, demand planning strategy, commercial excellence or collaborative innovation in operations and planning.
