What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead finance and commercial operations in logistics, freight forwarding, transportation, warehousing, or supply chain businesses, where I can strengthen controls, optimize working capital, build teams, and support growth through strategic finance.

I've led finance, treasury, credit control, compliance, and commercial operations for Visesh Cargo, DSV Air & Sea, J-Ark Logistics, Uniworld Logistics, and Hellmann Worldwide Logistics across India and international entities.

With 27+ years in logistics, freight forwarding, transportation, warehousing, and supply chain finance, I've strengthened controls, built finance teams, improved cash-flow planning and receivables governance, and delivered decision-ready MIS. I've also managed banking facilities, fund raising, taxation, statutory audits, RBI compliance, GST, ERP administration, and finance automation across operations in Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, Poland, and Czech Republic.
