About Vivek Gupta

I am a seasoned & successful manufacturing executive with an uncompromising work ethic who loves what he does. I began and continued my professional education at The University of Texas at Austin where I earned two degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (B.S, 2003) and a Master in Business Administration (M.B.A, 2007). I feel very fortunate to have studied at such a wonderful University with such incredible professors and classmates. Spending my undergraduate career learning logic-based approaches to problem solving certainly laid a great foundation for me prior to completing my graduate coursework in Business. Being very entrepreneurial in nature, I jumped at the opportunity to help launch and lead a new manufacturing business in the Dallas/Fort Worth (D/FW) Metroplex, Texas ProFab Corporation (TPF). TPF is a very progressive and modern U.S. Sheet Metal Fabricator/Manufacturer, and we\'ve enjoyed great success since inception. I am also very passionate about U.S. Manufacturing and work hard to get involved and further the industry. In order to stay on top of the newest trends & technologies, I participate in as much continuing & industry education as possible, in addition to leading other organizations and industry assocations at the Board of Director level. Additionally, I have helped launch and lead multiple Investment Companies ranging from Public Equity to Real Estate investing. I pride myself in being able to build organizations with the stability and organization characteristics of large corporations while integrating the operating efficiency of small organizations, thus bringing about the optimal blend of stability and operating efficiency. Most importantly: I love what I do very, very much. Specialties: Organization Leadership & Management, Advanced Financial Analysis, Capital Deployment, Sales & Customer Relations, Change Management, Startup Logistics, Information Technology, Manufacturing Industry Specific Challenges, etc.
