KUSHAL KHANNA

Summary

With over 11 years of work experience, including 10 years at Johnson & Johnson and 1 year at Bizongo, I bring extensive expertise in E2E Supply Chain, SAP, and external partner connections. Throughout my career, I have gained valuable exposure to raw and packaging materials used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Notably, during my time at Johnson & Johnson on contract with Randstad, I became the first individual in India's supply chain to be promoted and absorbed into Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health as an employee in 2015. Additionally, I spent 1 year at Bizongo as a Strategic Sourcing & Category Manager for flexible packaging. Currently, I successfully manage the Johnson's Baby & Skin Health Care project as a Project Manager at Johnson & Johnson India since September 2020. My experience has honed my skills in strong collaboration and negotiation, enabling effective engagement with individuals at all levels of the organization, including senior leadership teams.
