WORK HISTORY
Supply Chain Manager - Large Molecules @Novartis
Hyderabad, IN
I manage timely product deliveries of large molecule drugs by partnering with EU contract manufacturers and leading cross‑functional planning with Quality, Regulatory, and Procurement teams. Through IBP, S & OPs, and supplier reviews, I drive demand‑supply alignment, end‑to‑end planning, and compliance with Novartis supply chain excellence standards.Leveraging my advanced Excel, analytics, and visualization skills, I built a robust allocation model that enabled tactical supply planning for a blockbuster drug - helping avoid $45M+ in sales loss while improving efficiency & agility. I also coach and support the team in using Kinaxis RapidResponse, helping to raise team\'s maturity in scenario‑based planning and strengthening overall supply chain performance.

SKILLS
ABOUT VISHAL KANOJIYA
Over the last 12+ years, I’ve built rich international experience across supply chain management, operational excellence, and business integration. My career has been defined by leading strategic projects, driving efficiency, and delivering measurable results through strong collaboration, project management, and leadership — coupled with a knack for quick unlearning & relearning in current dynamic environments.I’ve managed supplies to diverse markets through contract manufacturers in the US, EU, and Asia, working both independently and by leading cross‑border teams in India and Singapore. I’ve also played a key role in strategic reorganizations, portfolio transfers, and integration projects, ensuring smooth regional implementation aligned with global strategy.My supply chain expertise is strengthened by hands‑on operational excellence work in manufacturing sites. I began by developing and deploying Sanofi’s flagship operational excellence system (SMS) at its global headquarters in Paris, designing the digital interface and facilitating adoption across the industrial network. I then spent formative time on the shop floor, leading transformation projects and applying Lean tools to reduce costs, boost efficiency, and embed a culture of continuous improvement.I am PMP®‑certified and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt practitioner, with advanced degrees from ESSEC Business School (France) and Queen’s University (Canada).
