Operations director at V Woods (Nova Scotia) Inc., building sustainable timber supply chains and setting up primary wood processing infrastructure.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At V Woods (Nova Scotia) Inc., I focus on designing and setting up primary wood processing units that turn responsibly harvested timber into durable building materials and long-term carbon stores.
At V Woods Inc., I founded a doors solutions company that supplied more than 5,000 wooden flush doors and ready-to-install door frames for residential apartments across western India. I coordinated vendor orders and production goals, and managed on-site carpenters for installations.
At Lalsons Plyboard Pvt. Ltd., I managed manufacturing operations across plywood, board, flexi-ply and doors. By applying Lean principles in the peeling department, I achieved 20% savings on core veneer production; I also applied TQM and Six Sigma DMAIC principles to meet BIS quality standards.
At Vedanta Woods International N.V., I initiated wood-log procurement for export and built trade relationships with forest harvesters and clients. I’m focused on building the processing capacity that helps sustainable timber replace high-carbon construction materials and store carbon in infrastructure.
