Tej Patel / Supply Chain & Operations Origin: New Jersey  ·  Current: New York, NY

I learned supply chains from the warehouse floor up.

I started scanning packages in an Amazon fulfillment center. Now I help enterprises redesign the supply chains those packages move through — as a supply chain & operations consultant at Bluecrux, with a master's in Supply Chain Analytics from Rutgers. I like problems that are messy on the whiteboard and measurable on the P&L.
