What I'm looking for

I am seeking product or program roles in EV/automotive firms where I can lead end-to-end delivery, drive supplier development, and implement process improvements within cross-functional teams.

I am an operations-focused MBA with an engineering background and hands-on experience in end-to-end product and program ownership within the automotive and electric vehicle domain. I have led strategic EV and vehicle programs, coordinated cross-functional teams, and managed suppliers to meet strict Quality, Cost, and Delivery targets.

As a Product Owner I have managed complete lifecycles from concept to on-time delivery, developed business cases including BOM costing and CAPEX estimation, and conducted market and competitive analysis to define product positioning. I have worked with global partners such as Volkswagen and Foxconn and supported ICE-to-EV feasibility and powertrain evaluations.

I bring practical manufacturing and maintenance exposure from internships, strong vendor and supplier management skills (RFQ, negotiation, onboarding), and technical fluency in tools like Advanced Excel, Power BI, MySQL and Jira to drive process improvement and SOP alignment.
