About Amartya Kundu

I turn complex, large-scale operations into intelligent, data-driven systems. With 10+ years at Amazon, I\'ve led global workforce programs for 600+ employees across 6 countries — building the infrastructure that lets organisations plan, scale, and perform with confidence. My journey spans Risk Analysis → IP Enforcement Strategy → Global Advisor → Program Management — giving me an unusually broad lens: I understand how trust, data, policy, and people intersect to drive outcomes at scale. What I\'m known for:• Built global headcount reporting frameworks from scratch for 600+ orgs — zero to structured visibility across 6 countries• Improved utilisation from 71% → 86% and reduced non-productive time from 29% → 14% across 2022–2025• Led ASPECT → NICE enterprise tool migration with zero critical post-launch defects.• Validated Generative AI solution for NPT scheduling automation, delivering ~60% reduction in manual effort• Designed IP abuse detection framework adopted into global SOPs — reduced bulk report resolution from 12 hrs → 1 hr• Achieved 27% reduction in global repeat investigator contacts via data-driven coaching model Core expertise:Workforce Management • Program Strategy • Process Optimisation • AI/GenAI Workforce Tools • Change Management • Tool Migrations • Risk & Trust Operations • Stakeholder Management • Lean Six Sigma (Green Belt) Open to opportunities in Product Management, AI/ML Ops, and Senior Program Management.
