38. Dilip Bhavnani

Sunscope (asi/90075)

2020 Rank: 48 

Title: COO

Industry Experience: 34 years

Bhavnani made his reappearance on the Power 50 last year after engineering Sunscope’s early and prodigious pivot to PPE, delivering for distributors at a time when the demand for the much-needed medical supplies was at its considerable peak. Though the supplier will be hard-pressed to match its 95% growth from 2020 (which pushed Sunscope into the top 10 suppliers in the industry), Bhavnani has alternative plans. What exactly? Another pivot that has Bhavnani and Sunscope leaning on its custom design capabilities as well as its sourcing expertise, and forgoing the company’s traditional in-stock business. Displaying such nimbleness causes Bhavnani to leap up 10 spots on this year’s list.
