About

I don't just build strategies — I stay until they're live. I am a Strategy & Operations professional focused on solving complex business problems through execution, systems thinking, and cross-functional leadership. Currently, I work in the CEO's Office at a high-growth cleantech company where I lead strategic initiatives across business operations, commercial execution, and process transformation. My experience spans: • P&L ownership and business scaling • Program management and operational excellence • Supply chain and vendor optimization • Business process automation and Salesforce transformation • Leadership reporting and decision-support systems Over the last two years, I have worked directly with leadership teams to build scalable business systems, improve operational performance, and drive measurable business outcomes. Some highlights: • Leading a railway services initiative scaling from ₹1.9 Cr to ₹28 Cr revenue run-rate • Delivered ₹6L+ annualized savings through vendor and process optimization • Implemented Salesforce-led transformation across multiple business verticals • Built executive dashboards and performance systems used for strategic decision-making I'm actively exploring Chief of Staff, Founder's Office, and Strategy & Ops Manager roles at high-growth Series B–D startups — ideally environments where systems are still being built and there's real ownership to be had. If you're building something ambitious and need someone who can think at the strategic level and execute at the ground level — let's talk. 📩 vishalbehera2000@gmail.com | +91 86552 72429
