Program Manager at Amazon transforming FBA support operations, including a 0-to-1 transformation of the FBA Escalations organization.
What I'm looking for
At Amazon, I drive Operational Excellence initiatives for Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) Support Operations, focused on inventory defect cost, warehouse distribution cost to serve, and seller reimbursement accuracy. I also led the 0-to-1 transformation of the FBA Escalations organization, defining its scope, ownership, stakeholder model, and success metrics.
Previously, I managed long-term capacity planning for Amazon Customer Service across the Americas. I developed the Real-Time Allocation Generator, an AI-augmented tool that delivered $9.6M in annual cost avoidance, and program-managed the global migration to Amazon Connect.
Earlier, at Tata Advanced Systems Ltd., I worked on aerospace manufacturing process planning and process improvements. Lean-based tooling and process redesign reduced manufacturing time by 12.5% and delivered ₹19L+ in annual savings.
