I am known among the executives who will be CEOs one day for practical business strategies - practical because they are crafted in real world, not academia; business - because I rarely work for governments (I do not enjoy that work, though it might pay more); and strategies because my work always has significant strategic component that allows me to focus on the few things that matter the most.

I am the person who CEOs and executives call when they want to multiply profits urgently using the full power of Global Supply Networks. When they get tired of the waste, the lost potential and getting an incomplete picture, I, and my team, work with corporations around the world to achieve their peak potential - in operations, strategy, and in all components of their supply chains.

In 2000, I co-founded Global Supply Chain Group, a high-impact services company comprising supply-chain pioneers and visionary thinkers. Previously, I was a management consultant with top-tier strategy firm Booz Allen & Hamilton where I studied with the best supply chain thinkers with a single passion - learning how to create, configure, and formulate effective, secure and sustainable global supply chains.

Through the GFC and beyond, I have managed the ups and downs in this company to work on projects that span more than 80 countries on five continents, with clients ranging from fortune 500 companies to some of best known brands on earth. I also worked with some of the most innovative green technology companies to help create successful supply chains from scratch. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of businesses flows in these supply chains, which I helped configure in as little as 12 months. My work has added cumulative value in excess of $1 Billion, incorporating more than 300 projects in major supply chain infrastructure, investment decisions, profitable growth through global supply chain realignment, cost reduction etc

My articles are published in relevant journals and business magazines, and I speak at business schools, conferences, forums and workshops around the world when it is interesting. I also continue to write books based on my experience and expertise.
