@vanthianbalasubraman
I lead product commercialization, NPI, and distribution programs that improve launch readiness and fulfillment.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
At Boston Scientific, I lead Canadian product localization, commercialization, and distribution programs that achieve 100% compliance before customer release and sustain a 99.8% on-time fulfillment rate.
I run launch readiness through agile sprints and cross-functional standups, aligning regulatory, quality, engineering, and commercial teams to clear delivery roadblocks. I also direct Order-to-Cash readiness, route-to-market planning, inventory staging, and post-merger product integration.
Previously, I managed hardware NPI and sourcing readiness, delivering $1.2M CAD in annualized savings through clean-sheet cost reviews and continuous improvement. My work includes supplier capacity, component qualification, engineering change workflows, SAP cutovers, and Power BI reporting for executive phase-gate reviews.
I bring industrial engineering, PMP, and Six Sigma experience across supply chain, logistics, procurement, and process automation. I've reduced reporting overhead by 25% with Power Automate and AI workflows and cut logistics transit and handling cycle times by 40%.
