� Created multiple Power Point presentations to support internal and customer projects. Analysed respective customers, competitors and market conditions<br />
by conducting in depth and extensive internet researches and by evaluating internal data. Decided on how to design presentations independently and<br />
submitted them to colleagues in the shortest time possible. All slides (i.e. once over 60 slides for one customer) were accepted in the final presentation<br />
without any changes.<br />
� Managed a worldwide study of logistical issues in the pharmaceutical industry. Evaluated and analysed results and conducted various graphics for the<br />
printed version. Interpreted results and based on these and an in-depth internet research developed multiple drafts for the print version.<br />

� Supported the implementation of a new computer based workflow tool as an intern for the whole Sales area at Lufthansa Technik.<br />
� Presented the workflow tool in different areas and successfully trained employees in its usage (first-level support) not only in Hamburg but also via<br />
telephone conference in China.<br />
� Analysed the programming of the workflow tool to test its functionality. Found various bugs daily and reported these to Lufthansa Systems. Developed<br />
solutions with the programmers, implemented the changes and thus significantly improved the utilisation of the tool within the company.<br />

Adam Opel AG: Internship - �������������������������������- Aug 2008)<br />
���������������������������������������������������������������������������� It became a majority-stake subsidiary of the American General<br />
Motors Corporation in 1929. In 2010 Opel announced that it would invest around �11bn over the next five years.<br />
� Analysed in-country test reports (driving tests in different countries within Asia, Africa, Russia to analyse the car's behaviour under different weather and<br />
climatic conditions) of different Opel models to show whether major problems during driving occur within the first 10,000km or later. Clustered the different<br />
technical problems to develop a grading system for interpreting test results.<br />
� <strong>The</strong> usage of the grading system made interpretation of data possible. Test routes less than 10,000km being too short to give detailed information about<br />
possible problems that might occur (e.g. engine breakdown, deterioration of brakes, etc.). Presented results graphically within the team and therewith<br />
supported general assumption of the division.<br />
� Results were of great importance to general management because their idea of reducing the length of test routes could be avoided. Shorter routes hiding<br />
major car problems and creating the highest repair costs for Opel.<br />

Oxfam GB is a major British charity working with others to overcome poverty and suffering around the world. It specialises in water and sanitation<br />
in emergency and developing contexts.<br />
� Became proficient in the usage of Helios, a sector-specific supply chain management software solution within two weeks of starting in this position. This<br />
resulted in support being delivered to end users quickly and over 200 users being trained in the course.<br />
� Developed training material pitched at an international audience of staff at all levels of the organisation, as well as support documentation. Co-ordinated and<br />
reviewed the translation of all documentation for use in Francophone Africa and the Caribbean thus widening the geographical scope of possible<br />
deployments.<br />
� Travelled to project sites (in Kenya, South Africa, Uganda and Haiti) and provided frontline user training and support in transition phase. Liaised between<br />
HQ and project offices to help solve technical issues in the system and ease transitional phase of system adoption. <strong>The</strong> outcome was a major shift in the<br />
way of working which embraced robust, paperless tracking of procurement, inventory, and materials delivery to project sites.<br />
� Conducted extensive testing of the system and fed back to development and functional design teams, thereby allowing problems to be diagnosed quickly<br />
and prioritised according to criticality.<br />
� Provided support for development of e-learning solution by drawing on experiences with frontline staff to help e-learning design teams develop content<br />
which can be understood across vast cultural differences. As a result, phase two of the project will allow deployment to go ahead with reduced travel to<br />
sites by HQ staff and thereby reduce one of the greatest project expenses so far.<br />
� Chaired sessions attended by a functional cross-section of staff (finance, logistics and programme) where co-ordinated planning and data sharing<br />
procedures were discussed and adopted. Disjointed and siloed operations were tied together into a coherent whole making it possible to identify a potential<br />
overspend of �200,000 in the recent emergency response to the drought in the Horn of Africa.<br />
Accenture Nederland - Analyst (Jun 2008 - May 2009)<br />
Accenture is a global services firm providing consulting, technical services and outsourcing across all industries. Worked in the Materials<br />
<strong>Management</strong> and Supplier Relationship <strong>Management</strong> divisions of the SAP practice while based in the Amsterdam office.<br />
� Drafted functional requirements for systems by analysing clients��needs and mapping them to bespoke system configurations allowing an EU-level public<br />
sector client to maintain its specific procurement practices which SAP SRM is not designed to support out-of-the-box. This was a sine qua non condition<br />
for the client to adopt SAP.<br />
� Tested new configurations of SAP PP implementation for a private sector client which broadened the system�s functionality to support assembly line<br />
modifications in a short span of time. Managed several concurrent work streams within tight deadlines allowing configuration signoffs to proceed as planned.<br />
� Helped co-ordinate troubleshooting efforts with offshore teams by making sure they understood client priorities. This resulted in bug fixing efforts being<br />
targeted in a way which minimised impact on the client's operations.<br />
Chinesepod.com - volunteer blogger (2006 - 2008)<br />

Career History:<br />
Karamveer Transport Co Pvt Ltd: Director - Delhi, India (May 2009 - Aug 2011)<br />
Indian based transportation company. During tenure as director successfully expanded into multiple transport fields from a single field. <strong>The</strong><br />
company posted 15% annual growth and a turnover of over �5m, and very quickly received industry recognition for providing high standards of<br />
customer service.<br />
� Reduced turnaround time of the vehicles by seven hours by introducing trip incentives to the driver. Overcame the drivers' resistance to the new way of<br />
working by explaining the benefits to them and the company. Negotiations were initially difficult because the drivers were satisfied with what they were<br />
earning. Convincing them became easier once they started to understand the rationale, i.e the new system meant vehicles would be utilised to their full<br />
potential, thus saving the company money.<br />
� Improved vehicle utilisation by introducing a fleet tracking system which led to a two day reduction in idle time.<br />
� Diversified from transportation of cars to transporting LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) and FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) with Indian Oil<br />
Corporation Ltd and ITC (Indian Tobacco Company). Researched the market and identified there was more demand for LPG throughout the year and it<br />
was therefore a good decision to start transporting LPG. <strong>The</strong> government then introduced a policy which resulted in every household in India getting a free<br />
LPG connection, increasing more scope for expansion.<br />
� Achieved a 452% net profit increase against the previous year in the financial year 2009 - 2010 by writing off the loans and debtors during the year.<br />
� Developed fleet management software which helped the company reduce truck repair, maintenance and tyre costs. <strong>The</strong> software was designed to bring the<br />
costs down by regularly updating when it was time for the scheduled service for the vehicle, helping save money on avoidable expenses.<br />
� Reduced interest payments and overdraft charges by ensuring instalments against credit were paid prior to the due date.<br />
