Seasoned logistics and export operations manager driving process efficiency and compliance.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a logistics and export operations professional with 15+ years' experience across ocean freight forwarding, export operations and customer service. I have led teams, managed end-to-end FCL/LCL and buyer's consolidation flows, and overseen cross-trade and USA trucking operations with strong OTIF performance.
Throughout my career I have optimized processes, implemented SOPs, managed KPIs and P&L for consolidation boxes, and maintained high documentation and regulatory compliance using tools like SAP TM and E-Freight Suite. I have consistently delivered measurable outcomes — high booking and documentation accuracy, improved customer retention, and reduced discrepancies through training.
I bring hands-on operational leadership, vendor and customs management experience, and a customer-centric approach to drive cost savings and service improvements. I am trained in Lean Six Sigma (AI Yellow Belt) and hold certifications in export/import, supply chain management, and leadership.
