Rishabh Sharma

At Hitachi Vantara, I lead enterprise planning transformation on Anaplan, connecting financial, headcount, territory, quota, and sales planning with Snowflake, Oracle, and Power BI. My work improved forecasting accuracy by 25% and strengthened leadership visibility across revenue, spend, and workforce allocation.

I championed AI-augmented planning by integrating Azure ML forecasts with Anaplan, improving forecast accuracy by 15% and reducing planning cycle time by 10%. I also supported an AI competitive-pricing assistant used by 1,000+ global sales professionals, contributing to a 12% profitability increase and 20% higher cross-sell and upsell conversions.

Previously at Marico, I built Anaplan planning and FP&A applications, led cross-functional delivery and vendor management, and completed 20+ ETL exercises. I automated planning processes, created CXO-level reporting, and delivered dashboards that saved more than 18 man-hours each week.

Across Veear Analytics and freelance FP&A implementations, I've delivered end-to-end Anaplan solutions for financial, operational, workforce, procurement, and incentive planning. I combine model building, data integration, SaaS sales, security practices, and adoption support to turn spreadsheet-driven processes into scalable connected-planning systems.
