About Ashish Kumar

I’m a supply chain leader focused on one thing: making planning systems and decisions work in the real world.With over a decade of experience across Oil & Gas and Automotive, I’ve led large-scale initiatives spanning S & OP / planning / digital transformation, end-to-end optimization, and global program execution—working across regions and functions to drive measurable business outcomes.My strengths sit at the intersection of strategy + execution:Planning excellence: turning demand and supply complexity into clear decisionsTransformation leadership: driving operating model, process, and digital changes at scaleProgram management: aligning cross-functional teams and delivering outcomes, not just plansPeople development: building capable teams that sustain change beyond the projectI’m a CSCP-certified supply chain professional with an MBA, and I’m especially interested in how digital and analytics can improve decision-making in planning—not through buzzwords, but through practical application.If you’d like to exchange ideas on planning, transformation, or leading global supply chain programs, feel free to connect.
