About Avinash Tallam

I build platforms that scale — and products that teams actually want to use.Over 15 years, I\'ve owned end-to-end roadmaps across procurement, supply chain, and enterprise automation, turning ambiguous problems into launch-ready platforms that deliver measurable outcomes. Most recently at Dell Technologies, I\'ve led AI-powered automation initiatives that delivered $17M+ in cost efficiencies and automated 24% of high-volume procurement workflows — built from scratch, working backwards from what customers and operators genuinely needed.What I do best:→ Define and evangelize platform strategy across engineering, ops, and business stakeholders→ Launch 0→1 tools — from LLM-powered chatbots to SSO authentication systems to real-time operational dashboards→ Drive clarity and alignment at VP and C-suite level in fast-moving, ambiguous environments→ Translate complex technical tradeoffs into decisions that move the business forwardI\'ve worked across the US, Mexico, and India — building cross-functional teams, managing multi-location rollouts, and navigating global compliance and security requirements. I hold an MBA from the Darla Moore School of Business (University of South Carolina) and a B.Tech from NIT Hamirpur.I\'m passionate about the intersection of AI, supply chain, and platform strategy — particularly where automation can fundamentally streamline operations and people experience. Open to Senior PM roles in platform strategy, AI/ Automation, and launch tooling.Let\'s connect: t••••••••@gmail.com
