About

I am a Business and Consulting professional with 2+ years of experience solving complex business problems and delivering business transformation initiatives for global organizations including Marks amp; Spencer and Hugo Boss. My experience spans Business Analysis, Requirement Discovery, Solution Development, Process Improvement, Business Transformation, Stakeholder Management, Cross-Functional Collaboration, Project Coordination, Governance, Issue Resolution, Implementation, and Go-Live Support. As a Functional Consultant at o9 Solutions Management India, I have worked across major retail and supply chain transformation engagements. For Marks amp; Spencer, I partnered with European retail stakeholders to understand business challenges, operating requirements, and inventory policies, translating them into practical planning solutions while supporting safety-stock analysis, allocation and replenishment, solution validation, issue resolution, and stakeholder sign-off. For Hugo Boss, I contributed to the end-to-end delivery of a global Wholesale Demand Planning transformation, translating existing planning processes into structured, technology-enabled workflows, developing Functional Specification Documents, facilitating governance discussions, resolving delivery issues, and supporting regional adoption through successful global Go-Live. I combine structured problem-solving, analytical thinking, stakeholder management, business analysis, and technology-enabled solution development with hands-on exposure to o9 Solutions, SQL, Advanced MS Excel, Python, and Data Analysis.
