Alex Bodin
Operations, supply chain, and data analytics leader with 8+ years of experience scaling global data center hardware operations, reverse logistics networks, and enterprise business intelligence.
At Google, I lead global server decommissions, hardware upgrades, media RMA, and reverse logistics operations across the data center and 3PL warehouse network. Serving as the warehouse and data center logistics SME, I spearhead L10-to-L12 infrastructure workflows, end-to-end component induction, and vendor execution across 30+ program FTEs and 1,000+ global 3PL associates, returning $110M+ in power capacity, enabling >600% ML hardware growth, cutting global cycle times by 50%, and delivering $150M+ in operational savings and cost avoidance.
My operational leadership is grounded in a deep technical data analytics background. Before stepping into program management at Google, I worked as a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst and Senior Data Analyst building automated ETL pipelines, single-source-of-truth data models across multi-system warehouses, and executive KPI dashboards. Today I combine that analytical stack (Python, SQL, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, DBT, and Tableau) with hands-on operations execution to architect root-cause blocker models and unblocking frameworks across hundreds of global data center projects.
