The Sydney resident travels 60% of his time around the world for a single passion – creating, configuring, and formulating effective, secure and sustainable supply chains around the world. A dynamic, compelling professional and presenter, Sood has a unique ability to shake-up the status quo and transform operations to maximise returns. His work experience spans more than 80 countries around 5 continents, and clients range from Fortune 500 companies to some of best known brands on earth.
He has also worked with some of the most innovative green technology companies to help create outstanding supply chains from scratch, for multi-million dollar businesses in periods as short as 18 months. His work has added cumulative value in excess of $500M, incorporating projects in major supply chain infrastructure investment decisions, profitable growth driven by global supply chain realignment, supply chain systems, negotiations and all other aspects of global supply chains. Sood is also an acclaimed author of two very highly regarded books. He writes regular path breaking articles and lectures at business schools, supply chain conferences, forums and workshops in various parts of the world.
