The new position serves to leverage Li & Fung’s global network in 50-plus production markets and integrate its diverse supply chain solutions to create a keenly focused customer-centric offering.
Rana started her career in JCPenney’s Purchasing Corp. in India. Prior to joining Li & Fung, she was the managing director of May department stores in India.
“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.”
In July, Li & Fung secured a US$100m investment from Chinese e-commerce leader JD.com to speed the development of its digital supply chain as well as new private label initiatives for the Chinese domestic market.
