About

A bit about me.

Operations leader, fitness enthusiast, lifelong learner, and endlessly curious human.

I've spent the past 14+ years building and optimizing supply chains that move real products to real people. From warehouse floors at General Mills to leading planning operations at Genpact for some of the world's largest CPG companies — my career has been about making complex systems work better.

I hold an Executive MBA from Great Lakes Institute of Management, specializing in Logistics, Materials, and Supply Chain Management. I'm also deeply committed to health and fitness — I've maintained a 400+ day streak of 10,000-15,000 steps every single day since January 2024.

This platform is different on purpose — it doesn't just list my resume, it lets you have a conversation about it. Ask the AskAkil chatbot anything you'd like to know.
