About Niranjan Deshpande
Logistics & Supply Chain Specialist | 4PL Operations | ERP & BI Tools | Lean Six Sigma | UK MSc Graduate As a logistics and supply chain professional with 3+ years of international experience spanning UK, the India, and EMEA, I specialize in orchestrating seamless 4PL operations, freight optimization, and global trade compliance for top-tier clients such as General Motors, Rolls-Royce, and Bourbon Offshore. Currently leading 4PL operations for CEVA Logistics–General Motors, I drive digital transformation, cost reductions, and real-time supply chain visibility using tools like Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power BI, Qlik Sense, and Lean Six Sigma. My hands-on experience spans air, ocean, and land freight, cross-border customs clearance, SLA management, and ERP-based tracking across multi-continent supply chains. From optimizing end-to-end workflows to implementing smart logistics solutions like AI-powered container tracking, I deliver measurable outcomes: Cut transport costs by 12%+ through smart carrier negotiations and freight consolidation. Improved on-time delivery and reduced waste via Lean Six Sigma process reengineering. Created SOPs, trained cross-functional teams, and led compliance for global audits. Academically, I hold an MSc in Logistics & Supply Chain Management from Aston University, UK – accredited by CILT, CIPS, and CMI – and a BTech in Mechanical Engineering. I complement this foundation with certifications in ERP, strategic leadership, and supply chain consulting. I bring cross-cultural agility, beginner-level German (A1), and a proven ability to collaborate with stakeholders across geographies, functions, and time zones. Whether working on the shop floor or with executive teams, I thrive in dynamic environments where adaptability, accuracy, and proactive ownership are key. Actively open to new opportunities across Germany and the broader EMEA region – particularly in 4PL/3PL logistics, SCM consulting, and operations excellence roles.
