MINNEAPOLIS, MN, January 30, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Anand Murali has been selected for inclusion in the 2025 edition of Marquis Who's Who of Distinguished Professionals, part of their Top Professional Series. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected based on current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all considered during the selection process.
Anand is a distinguished general management professional with over 15 years of versatile experience across all aspects of business operations in the automotive, material innovation, and EPC sectors. His experiences span various business facets like strategy, business development, marketing, supply chain, technology transitions, and product management. Currently, he serves as a senior supply chain leader at Mortenson, a top 25 builder, developer, and engineering services provider. In this capacity, he leads a high-performing team responsible for driving efficiency and value across the organization in sourcing, procurement, and managing supply chain operations related to consumables, indirect materials, and travel.
Since joining Mortenson in 2018 as director of corporate strategy, Anand played a pivotal role in collaborating with senior leadership to develop an ambitious five-year plan. He then moved to the Innovation Group, where he focused on a strategic initiative involving vertical integration, standardized design and offsite manufacturing. Later, as a supply chain lead, he successfully guided the transition to Oracle Cloud technology, modernizing operations, increasing productivity, and enhancing capabilities as part of a broader digital transformation effort.
Before Mortenson, Anand was part of Eastman Chemical Company's Commercial Leadership Program, where he received multiple employee recognition awards for his contributions in marketing, corporate strategy, and product management. Before relocating to the U.S., his career began at Ashok Leyland Ltd., India's second-largest commercial vehicle manufacturer. There, he successfully led the launch of three service products that increased after-sale revenue and enhanced customer retention. This achievement was recognized as one of the top three marketing programs within the company, earning him the opportunity to present to the management team in Malaysia.
A defining moment in Anand's career came when he chose to invest his life savings in pursuing an MBA in the U.S. As the first in his family to graduate and with no financial backup or network in the U.S., it was a risky move that required immense courage and determination. With unwavering support from his family and mentors, he took a bold leap of faith to expand his knowledge and advance his career. The experience profoundly shaped his leadership skills and played a key role in his professional growth. Anand holds an MBA in consulting, marketing and operations management from Kenan-Flagler Business School at the UNC at Chapel Hill (2013) and a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from PSG College of Technology, India (2007).
Outside of work, Anand has served as a pro bono marketing and strategy consultant for various nonprofit companies and is actively involved in civic organizations, including Habitat for Humanity. In his personal life, Anand enjoys spending time with his wife, Akshaya and their son, Dhruv. He is passionate about playing cricket and volleyball.
