Gopuff is close to being large scale EDITDA profitable soon.

Working closely with Gopuff's Co-founders, Mr. Naik played a pivotal role in scaling Gopuff to more than 250 cities worldwide — including London and major metropolitan areas across the United States — during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under his leadership, the valuation of the business soared to over $15 billion.

Prior to starting his tenure at Gopuff, Mr. Naik was Vice President of Logistics Strategy and Planning at Target from 2015 to 2019. In his leadership role, reporting to Target's Chief Supply Chain Officer, he oversaw critical supply chain functions with a focus on long-term efficiency enhancements and network optimization such as Same Day Delivery expansion and profitability and transportation capacity assurance (given market volatility) - across first, middle and last mile operations.

From 2014 to 2016, Mr. Naik held the position of Vice President of Supply Chain Management at Capgemini in the Atlanta metropolitan area, where he led transformative projects aimed at improving client operations through advanced supply chain solutions - growing the business by 15%+.

Mr. Naik's academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University, earned in 1999. Along with his education, he credits his achievements to strong mentors who believed in his potential, a diligent work ethic instilled in him by his family, and successful collaborations with his colleagues. His willingness to take calculated risks has been another defining factor in his professional advancement.

As of this recognition, Sundip is now a Board Member of Books for Africa.

Sharing the knowledge and insights drawn from his decades of hands-on experience, Mr. Naik has published articles within the supply chain industry and thought leadership space for the benefit of both current and future generations of technical managers and analysts.

Happily married for 25 years and the proud father of one daughter and one son, Mr. Naik enjoys playing golf and spending time with his family outside of his professional commitments.
