About

I am Rajeev Minocha, currently serving as an Executive Partner for Chief Supply Chain Officers at Gartner. My career has been defined by leading large-scale transformations across the globe for iconic brands like KFC, Coca-Cola, and P&G.

I am passionate about shifting the perception of supply chains from cost centers to engines of value creation. My work often involves navigating complex P&L challenges, sustainability strategies, and digital roadmaps. I enjoy partnering with fellow executives to solve high-stakes operational problems and build organizational capability. Whether it's discussing supply chain diagnostics or future-back strategies, I’m always looking to connect with leaders who are committed to excellence and holistic transformation.
