About Vaibhav Shastry
I serve mission-driven start-ups and organizations that help the world live healthier, happier lives, while also lifting up the people around me.At a professional level, I am a diligent, thoughtful team leader who delivers results. As Merchandising Manager at Crafty, I expanded the department\'s role and influence from Procurement to include Category Management, Pricing Strategy, and Brand Monetization. My previous background in Procurement Technology at Ernst and Young and Supply Chain Management from the University of Illinois helps me solve the important challenges organizations face today. I draw from a wide range of experiences spanning food & beverage, chemicals, agriscience, and industrialized products. At a personal level, I am an empathetic and growth-oriented individual who feels energized guiding and mentoring individuals from a variety of backgrounds.In my free time I am an aspiring home chef, occasional hiker, and plant dad.
