@jaymalaviya
Senior supply chain leader using SQL, Tableau, and Python to automate inventory planning and reduce risk.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven supply chain professional with 10 years of experience across Data Center Infrastructure, Hardware Manufacturing, and Retail Operations. I specialize in Materials Management, Inventory Fulfillment, and Risk Mitigation for complex global supply chains.
Most recently at Chewy, Inc., I’ve led inventory and ordering initiatives in a regulated environment—stabilizing accuracy at 95% and improving the Meet-to Plan metric by 800 bps. I also built automation workflows using SQL, KNIME, and Python to cut reconciliation effort from 2 hours to 15 minutes per cycle.
I bring strong planning leadership and stakeholder management, including negotiating Open-to-Buy (OTB) buys and driving QBRs, while optimizing fulfillment for critical infrastructure components. Across roles, I’ve delivered measurable outcomes like $2.5M cost reduction, 18% higher inventory turns, and an 80% reduction in labor hours through replenishment systems.
