SKILLS
ABOUT DANIEL PICHKAR
I graduated from Boston University with a BSBA in Operations and Technology Management, where I learned how to apply innovative and strategic solutions to complex business problems. While in school, I gained valuable experience as a Supply Chain Analyst at Markforged, where I supported pricing and cost-down initiatives, and as an Operations Intern at RailEyes, where I established a supplier and licensing partnership. After graduating, I joined Lutron where I worked in the Ketra Advanced Manufacturing Facility. I focused on purchasing, material planning, business systems and process engineering. During my time I became a subject matter expert on Inventory Traceability, MRP and Purchasing, doing analytical work to improve our planning process and driving meaningful cost savings. I also worked directly with key suppliers with complex international supply chains to ensure on time delivery of parts across the globe. I am passionate about finding meaningful solutions that make life easier for people while also taking care of our planet. I am always eager to learn new skills, meet new people, and take on new challenges.
