About Anirudh Yadav

I bring a global leadership lens to operational strategy, having built and led high-impact operations and shared services organizations across North America, South America, and Asia. Finance, global trade operations, and risk audit as foundational experiences, my career evolved into executive roles overseeing supply chain, finance, and enterprise transformation. Because I\'ve worked across industries, functions, and geographies, I understand the full business ecosystem in a way most specialists don\'t. I\'m most energized by helping companies streamline complexity, scale operations, and boost profitability through smart structure, process design, and people-first leadership.I’m known for building high-performing, highly engaged global teams—teams that outperform industry benchmarks, earn best-in-region accolades, and deliver with an owner’s mindset. Understanding the numbers comes naturally to me, but it\'s the people and processes that drive sustainable change. What’s fueled my success is a blend of business acumen, operational depth, and a drive to simplify complexity and grow what works.Core Competencies• Global Supply Chain Leadership• Shared Services Strategy & Optimization• Business Transformation• Financial Acumen (Budgets, Controls, Costs, Profitability) • Operational Excellence• Global Team Leadership & Operations Strategy• Enterprise Process & Organization Design• Technology Integration & Digital Transformation• Global Sourcing & Procurement Strategy• Change Management• Service Delivery, Consolidation and Standardization• Strategic Project Leadership• Center of Excellence (COE) Development• Leadership Development Industries of Interest: • Supply Chain & Procurement• Shared Services (Multi-Sector)• Commodity Trading• International Trade, Export & Import• 3rd Party Logistics• CPG / Agri-business• Power Generation• Building Materials• Global Business Services (GBS)/ Global Capability Centers (GCC)Contact:+13•••••••51, a•••••@amp196.hbs.edu
