“With over 30 years of experience in managing and leading end-to-end functions in the supply chain at country, regional and global levels, Deepika’s strength lies in her innate understanding of brands, retailers and vendors, and in forging long-lasting partnerships,” says Li & Fung. “Over the past 16 years at Li & Fung, Deepika has championed innovative solutions that have delivered positive results for both its customers and vendor partners.”
