Manish Popli joins supply chain consultancy InspireXT
Former Big Four consultant Manish Popli has joined InspireXT as a Senior Vice President. Popli will work to help the clients of the specialist consultancy to drive enhanced value from their supply chains.
Kuldeep Thakur, Managing Director of InspireXT, said, “Manish brings a wealth of industry and technology expertise specifically in products-based supply chains and Oracle solutions. As our customers and partners navigate through the complex transformational phase, they require our help in defining the right market leading propositions and executing successfully. We believe we have established a strong and meaningful capability to do just that. With Manish joining, InspireXT has a leader who is well trusted by clients and employees and is hugely progressive in his thinking and drive.”
Inspirext Consulting is a specialised advisory firm, focusing on helping customers enhance their supply chain processes using Oracle Cloud. By offering external expertise and solution strategies to help clients achieve their digital goals, Inspirext aims to help businesses in manufacturing and retail industries navigate the complex landscapes and utilise modern technologies.
Popli has been in management and IT consulting since 1996, and has worked with some of the industry’s biggest names in the following 24 years. In his wide-ranging experience, he has been an advisor, solution architect, programme director and practice leader, meaning he brings plenty of experience to the firm, in terms of transformational initiatives that span multiple technologies, partners and competing priorities.
His early career saw Popli work as a consultant with Big Four professional services firms EY and PwC for a total of four years. After that, Popli spent 12 years with IBM – where he was latterly a Senior Managing Consultant – before joining Hitachi Consulting. In 2017, he became a Vice President at the firm, before deciding the time was right for a new challenge.
Commenting on his LinkedIn profile, Popli stated, “After 20 plus years in the Corporate world, I felt the urge to do something different and what I hope will be an even more challenging and fulfilling phase of life. And somewhere behind this is the desire to create a valuable organisation and a legacy.”
In a press release from Inspirext, he added, “It gives me great pleasure to become part of InspireXT. I am particularly excited to join a team with phenomenal expertise in the field of supply chain and together drive value for our customers. I look forward to fostering a culture of innovation and excellence at InspireXT and developing it as an organisation of choice for both our customers and employees.”
