About Gulshan Kaur

I keep complex maritime and energy supply chains running—on time, compliant, and cost-efficient. With 7+ years of experience across procurement, supply chain, and port operations, I manage end-to-end sourcing, vendor performance, and global logistics supporting vessel operations in high-pressure, time-critical environments. I’ve driven measurable improvements in procurement efficiency, including reducing lead times through process optimization and stronger supplier coordination. My experience spans both strategic procurement and on-ground port operations, giving me a clear understanding of how supply chain decisions impact vessel turnaround, operational risk, and cost control. I work closely with global suppliers, port authorities, and cross-functional teams to ensure seamless execution, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity. I bring expertise in strategic sourcing, vendor management, maritime logistics, and supply chain optimization—aligned with the standards and complexity of large-scale, global operations in shipping and oil & gas industry.
