About Vishal Mankotia

m••••••••@mac.com 41••••••31 Global SCM & Operational Leadership across the US, Asia, Europe, Middle East, & Africa (20+ Countries) Multimillion-Dollar SCM Budget Management | Cross-Functional Team Leadership | Inspirational Mentor Building global agile supply chain organizations that can drive growth and profitability in challenging times – is what I do best. Most importantly, as a value-based leader, I reimagine and optimize supply chains that orchestrate change, simplify life, and positively impact business, society, and the planet. In highly visible executive leadership roles, I have managed the complexity of transforming legacy supply chains into future-ready supply chain operations/networks that balance the evolving expectations of investors and stakeholders while fueling profitable growth and enabling business success the right way. During my entire leadership tenure, I have matured supply chains, optimized efficiencies and supplier performances, and catalyzed continuous improvement with lasting results. As the VP of Global Supply Chain Management at Levi’s, I addressed and resolved critical issues of forecast volatility, strategic sourcing constraints, supply disruption, and logistics challenges across Asia (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Cambodia). Furthermore, I formulated a robust risk management process to stop profit loss. I am credited with deploying quick chase revenue realization capability to achieve the shortest order to delivery cycle benchmark for 2021. Moreover, I led omnichannel inventory management and allocation strategies while managing E2E implementation and allocation for 1700 stores across Asia. Earlier, I established the commercial planning function across India, South Africa, the Middle East, and Africa from the ground up, halting millions in losses incurred through excess inventory. At Nokia, I saved millions by optimizing outbound distribution through initiatives like multi-modal logistics, air cargo load optimization, skid design modification, packaging optimization, etc. The goods in transit consolidation (GITC) project led by me helped reduce millions of Euros in cost of freight (on more consolidated cargo) and raw material (RM) inventory. At TATA, I was awarded the “Tata Excellence Award” for business process innovation. Additionally, I serve as Honorary Executive Advisor at o9 Solution, Inc. I have presented and spoken at several global supply chain events and round table conferences.
