My Work: Case Studies
A selection of projects demonstrating strategic implementation and quantifiable, high-value results.
Multi-Market Cash Flow Optimization
Pioneered firm's first cash flow consulting engagement for a $25B+ global fast-food chain.
Role: Supply Chain Strategy & Consulting
The Challenge
The client, a global QSR giant, faced margin pressure and needed to unlock cash flow across four major APAC markets (Taiwan, Philippines, Korea, Indonesia).
The Solution
I spearheaded a multi-market assessment, developed a new 6-step framework for strategic cost management, and trained 200+ client leaders on ROIC analysis and supplier collaboration.
Quantified Results
-
14% Overall Margin Improvement achieved across all engaged markets.
-
$47 Million in Savings (5% reduction) realized on a $950M operational spend.
-
12% Reduction in procurement expenses from new cost management strategies.
Global Oil Supply Crisis Response
Ensuring business continuity during the Ukraine war by redesigning global oil supply strategies.
Role: Supply Chain Strategy & Consulting
The Challenge
The outbreak of the Ukraine war trapped critical sunflower oil reserves. This threatened to halt production lines across multiple global markets, risking substantial revenue loss and eroding consumer trust.
The Solution
I pivoted the project from network design to crisis management. Analyzing reserves across APAC and EMEA, I engineered a temporary "multi-oil blend" strategy optimized for cost, availability, and regional regulatory compliance.
Quantified Results
-
90% Business Continuity ensured for affected markets despite the blockade.
-
Zero Production Halts achieved by rapidly deploying alternative oil blends across diverse regulatory landscapes.
-
Strategic Resilience established by diversifying sourcing away from single-point-of-failure regions.
GenAI Guided S2P Implementation
Lead product to automate and guide complex software implementations using generative AI.
Role: GenAI Product Strategy & Delivery
The Challenge
Client implementation workflows were manual, error-prone, and inconsistent. This wasted valuable analyst time on low-value tasks and led to client friction during issue resolution.
The Solution
I led the development of a GenAI product that analyzed 100+ past implementations and best practices. The product provides real-time guidance to analysts, automates repetitive workflows, and streamlines documentation.
Quantified Results
-
30% Improvement in sales pitch effectiveness and requirement gathering time.
-
60%+ Reduction in data migration effort for 15+ clients with a new "Bring Any Format" tool.
-
70% Automation of the Zycus Supplier module implementation, ensuring error-free deployment.
Restaurant Construction Value Engineering
Redesigning cost structures and automating site analysis for new store openings.
Role: Supply Chain Strategy & Consulting
The Challenge
The client faced escalating capital costs for opening new stores. Furthermore, the analysis process for selecting and validating new sites was manual and time-intensive, slowing down expansion plans.
The Solution
I developed a custom automation tool to accelerate site analysis and implemented "Value Engineering" principles to redesign the cost structure, identifying areas to reduce spend without compromising quality.
Quantified Results
-
27% Reduction in new store costs achieved through strategic value engineering.
-
40% Time Savings in store analysis time via the new automation tool.
-
Strategic Focus unlocked for the team by automating repetitive analytical tasks.
$10.6B Global Supply Network Optimization
Redesigning the global supply network for a major fast-food giant to ensure resilience and cost efficiency.
Role: Project Lead & Lead Consultant
The Challenge
The client's $10.6B global potato supply network (7.4M tonnes) faced 40% escalating costs and critical vulnerabilities. With supply buffers below 2%, any climate or geopolitical disruption threatened global operations.
The Solution
I built a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model with over 30,000 constraints. It optimized for near-shoring, climate risk, and market-specific needs (Halal/Kosher), implementing a "just-in-case" strategy for critical market backup.
Quantified Results
-
$480 Million Saved in projected costs through network redistribution and logistics optimization.
-
50% Increase in Supply Lanes enhancing resilience against single-point failures in the global node network.
-
Global Compliance integrated strictly for Kosher (Israel) and Halal (Middle East) markets within the mathematical model.
