Manager | Operations Transformation
7/2022 - Present
I have led and delivered multiple high-impact projects and business proposals in the areas of project management, EBITDA improvement, and cost optimization. As PMO for an EBIT improvement initiative at a German braking system manufacturing company (annual turnover of INR 1,900 Cr), I designed and executed governance mechanisms enabling cross-country and cross-functional collaboration, defined KPIs, and developed a Power BI dashboard to track workstream-level progress for management board reporting. I also organized cross-country workshops to review 26 workstreams across product design, sales, manpower, and production. For a kitchen and home appliances company (turnover of INR 350 Cr), I conducted an operating model assessment and defined a post-acquisition structure for supply chain and procurement teams aligned with the growth roadmap. As PMO for an EBITDA improvement project at a real estate listing company (turnover of INR 500 Cr), I oversaw initiatives spanning workforce, marketing, technology, and overheads, managed P&L analysis to identify improvement areas, tracked idea impacts, and delivered a 5.3% EBITDA improvement, resulting in INR 65 lakhs in success fees for Deloitte.
