Sachin Kulkarni

With a strong foundation in hands-on manufacturing operations, I've spent over 30 years leading end-to-end responsibilities across production, engineering, supply chain, quality, EHS, logistics, and vendor development. I've led large teams, shaped global strategies, and delivered transformation through greenfield setups, engineering localization, P&L leadership, and digital factory execution. My global experience includes a strategic assignment in Germany, working across factories in USA, China, and Europe, shaping lean models, Hoshin Kanri strategy, and digital roadmaps. I understand the interconnectedness of business decisions across functions. I've managed complex stakeholder ecosystems, led enterprise-level make-buy strategy, handled labor negotiations, and built capabilities that align operations with strategic goals. I'm energized by work that requires balancing strategy with ground execution—turning complexity into clarity and ensuring operations deliver long-term, scalable value.
