Karan Kumar

I’m a business and program management professional with 4+ years of experience in B2B sales and client operations, including working with North American markets. I combine stakeholder management with data-driven decision-making to improve day-to-day performance and reduce operational risk.

At Sherwin Williams, I implemented process improvements aligned with digital tools and reporting systems. By integrating POS analytics and digital inventory systems, I reduced stock discrepancies by 18% over 12 months and improved transaction accuracy across a $1.4M retail environment.

I also led process improvement initiatives using Lean methodologies and POS analytics, delivering a 22% reduction in cycle time and stronger operational efficiency for a $1.4M+ store over 12 months. I facilitated cross-departmental communication to align operational priorities, improve staffing coverage, and raise customer satisfaction in a high-volume setting.

Earlier roles reinforced my focus on integrity, compliance, and measurable outcomes—maintaining 99.9% accuracy in monthly inventory audits using SAP ERP, and achieving 100% audit compliance by reconciling daily sales reports with POS data. I’m currently pursuing an MBA in Business Analytics, focused on risk assessment, reporting, and AI-driven insights to scale these strengths into more analytical, risk-aware decision making.
