As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Tripathi has established a distinguished career in operations engineering and supply chain innovation. He currently serves as a senior operations engineer at Amazon, where he leads the design and execution of nationwide network transformation initiatives that reduce costs, accelerate delivery speed, and enhance infrastructure resilience. His work supports strategic programs in network regionalization, capacity planning, and decarbonization aligning directly with U.S. priorities in sustainable infrastructure and logistics modernization.

Since joining Amazon in 2022, Mr. Tripathi has driven several high-impact projects. He led Project Luna, a transformative initiative focused on improving middle-mile efficiency and delivery speed, and piloted initially at a handful of facilities, with further scaling underway. Luna's extended sortation model reduced congestion, increased throughput, and supported greater access to expedited delivery nationwide.

In parallel, Mr. Tripathi contributed to Amazon's network regionalization initiative, optimizing the allocation of customer orders based on proximity. This program significantly reduced last-mile transportation emissions, lowered operational costs, and enhanced service reliability contributing to Amazon's broader environmental goals and serving as a scalable model for national distribution systems.

In addition to these projects, Mr. Tripathi has been instrumental in bringing advanced network modeling tools PrimeTimes and Proton from Europe to North America. Originally developed for Amazon's European operations, these tools enable data-driven optimization of fulfillment center connectivity, routing, and schedule design. Since 2022, Mr. Tripathi has led the program management and change enablement efforts to scale these tools across the U.S. fulfillment network. His work has directly contributed to the adoption of next-generation logistics planning systems that improve delivery speed, enhance carrier utilization, and reduce overall network inefficiencies. By expanding the scope and impact of these tools across the North American network, he has played a critical role in shaping Amazon's long-term logistics infrastructure strategy.

In 2025, Mr. Tripathi received the prestigious Amazon ACE Award from North American Transportation Services for leading a network calibration cycle that improved delivery speeds across the U.S. He also supports Amazon's Logistics for Good Community Forums, partnering with local communities to deploy emergency logistics support and strengthen disaster resilience.

Prior to Amazon, Mr. Tripathi worked at Seaboard Energy from 2015 to 2022, where he led plant-level optimization and expansion projects within the renewable energy sector. His leadership was instrumental in the successful startup of two newly acquired facilities in the Oklahoma Panhandle and Missouri, enhancing domestic production of renewable diesel and supporting energy independence.

An engaged contributor to his field, Mr. Tripathi holds active memberships with the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers, the Association for Supply Chain Management (Seattle chapter), and the American Society for Quality.

Mr. Tripathi holds a Master of Business Administration in operations management from Ottawa University (2020), a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering from Texas Tech University (2015), and a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering from Visvesvaraya Technological University (2012). He is also a certified Six Sigma Green Belt, awarded by IISE.

He attributes his success to a deep intellectual curiosity, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous improvement. He values systems thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and inclusive leadership.

Outside of work, Mr. Tripathi enjoys outdoor activities, hiking, reading, chess, and gaming. Looking ahead, he is preparing to take on expanded leadership responsibilities within Amazon's network design team. His long-term vision includes developing AI-powered logistics tools and applying data-driven supply chain strategies across critical sectors including health care, defense logistics, and climate-resilient infrastructure.
