Background

About Prathyusha Kota

I have over 12 years of experience in Global e-Procurement, Supplier Relationship Management, Contract Negotiation and Business Analytics. I have led a procurement team in execution of over 200 orders, managed a vendor base of about 120 and reduced the procurement lead time by almost 12%. I played an instrumental role in revitalizing engagement with a major supplier and improved critical delivery schedule adherence by 20%. Being an effective communicator, active listener, good negotiator and a creative problem solver, I have contributed towards 30% cost savings through negotiations and established strong collaborative networks across departments and organizations accelerating the achievement of common goals in 4 projects. With the increasing and interesting convergence of operations excellence, data analytics and behavioral science in the scope of supply chain management, I look forward to enrich my experience further in the field of supply chain management in the context of the dynamic challenges in the business environment. The time spent with my toddler is always the best part of my day. Apart from books, audibles and paints, I enjoy practicing Sahaja Yoga meditation and actively participate in programs introducing this free meditation technique to schools, corporates and neighborhoods.
