Hello, I'm Saurabh Shidhore

Principal Product Manager at Amazon (ex-Apple, ex-Dell) — driving AI-powered automation, data pipelines, and cross-functional product delivery.

Saurabh Shidhore

🚀 Professional Profile & Expertise

I am a Principal Product Manager and tech-business liaison with 10+ years of experience leading large-scale programs across supply chain, NPI operations, and process optimization. I specialize in driving operational efficiency by integrating AI/ML models, RPA, and custom prompt-engineered agents into enterprise workflows.

With dual degrees — a Master of Science (MS) in Industrial Engineering and an MBA in Supply Chain Management — I excel at bridging technical development and business strategy. I model complex data structures using SQL in Snowflake and Python, transforming them into intuitive BI dashboards (Power BI, Tableau) that identify process bottlenecks.

Currently focused on scaling enterprise AI products and FinTech at Amazon and developing custom agentic workflows to automate cross-functional planning and logistics operations.
