Situation:I led a project to revamp the fulfillment process for an eCommerce platform that was struggling with slow delivery times and high customer dissatisfaction. The platform had grown rapidly, and its existing fulfillment processes couldn’t keep up with the increased order volume.
Task:My task was to redesign and optimize the fulfillment process to improve delivery speed and accuracy. This involved integrating new technologies, streamlining operations, and enhancing the overall efficiency of the supply chain.
Action:
- Assessment: I began by conducting a thorough analysis of the existing fulfillment process, identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
- Solution Design: I worked with cross-functional teams, including logistics, technology, and customer service, to design a new fulfillment strategy. This included implementing advanced warehouse management systems, automating inventory tracking, and optimizing order routing.
- Technology Integration: I led the integration of a new order management system that provided real-time tracking and better visibility across the supply chain.
- Training and Implementation: I organized training sessions for the fulfillment team to ensure they could effectively use the new systems and processes. We phased the implementation to minimize disruption and continuously monitored performance.
Result:The revamped fulfillment process resulted in a 30% reduction in delivery times and a 25% decrease in order errors. Customer satisfaction scores improved significantly, and the platform was able to handle the increased order volume efficiently. This success led to recognition from senior management and was instrumental in scaling the business to new markets.
I’m proud of this project because it directly improved the customer experience and contributed to the company’s growth. The successful integration of new technologies and the positive feedback from customers and stakeholders validated our approach and demonstrated the impact of well-executed process improvements.

Our contract was 42 M - with a program team of 37.
task was to move 25+ apps to cloud from on-prem, As the Program Manager, I was managing PMO team, Product Dev team, O&M Team & Shared Svs Team.
1st thing when I took over the contract, I met with the transition team, performed the current state analysis, and hired an Enterprise Architect, created an entire EA diagram that showed the dependencies between various systems, data flow, data architecure for each system. created teams that would be well suited for each task, got the different cloud providers to come and give presentation and cost breakups, went over the budgets with the various cross functional Branch Chiefs & CIO - got approvals to choose a cloud provider.
Chose AWS - did the analysis of what to re-host, re-platform, refacotor or retire - made a check list of those - next met with the branch chiefs and CIO to create a framework of Metrics & KPIs to track while these migrations are going on, and the get a sign-off on the acceptance criteria. Once we have the metrics & KPIs track for we employed SeriveNow to create a Dashboard so the Senior management can have a complete end-to-end visibility on the progress. This helped reduce the anxiety on budget, progress and communication
Result - The whole digital transformation was an amazing sucess, I received awards from CIO, our company contract was extended for 5 more years, I was promoted to Program DIrector from Senior Program Manager.
