Bio
Deepak Poojari
Percy is true global leader. He has immense passion for managing talent and truly understanding global priorities. I had the opportunity to work with Percy on managing key seasons inventory planning and it was pleasure knowing how open he was to new ideas that would drive great business results.

I was extremely lucky to have the opportunity to report to Percy through several strategic projects during my time at Target. Percy was an all-rounder, he was known for his attention to details, innovative solutions, and ability to build strong relationship across the company. During times of uncertainty, he demonstrates exceptional leadership by guiding the team through various challenges in order to successfully open rounds of new stores across Canada. To me, Percy was more than just a leader but also a career and life mentor. He would always dedicate time out of his busy schedule, even after work hours, to discuss my career path and developments or even as simple as helping me preparing for a big presentation to senior leaders. Percy was one of the best leaders I have had, he is smart, passionate, and humble. His professional and interpersonal skill would be a great asset to any company and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
