Krishna Bahl – Employee Profile

1. Tell us your name: Krishna Bahl
2. What is your position here at Performance and can you briefly sum up your job? Merchandise Analyst and Distribution Manager. I spend most of my time running reports and analyzing data concerning sales and inventory levels. I am the spreadsheet queen. I also have six and a half very hard-working, talented people who report to me, who are in charge of making sure all of our stores have what they need to sell.
3. How long have you been working here?
   My five year anniversary was in July.
4. What (if any) other positions have you held here at Performance?
   I was originally hired as a Planner for Supergo, and when the Supergo stores were transitioned to Performance stores, I was lucky to be placed in my current position.
5. What bike(s) do you ride?
   I ride my Schwinn Nancy coasting bike to get around downtown Raleigh on the weekends. This spring I started riding my Scattante R-660 road bike on lunch rides with a group from work and then on longer rides on the weekends. I managed to work my way up and was able to ride 150 miles in two days in the MS150 charity ride. Woo hoo!
6. Where would you ride if you could ride anywhere? Hmmm. Last week I was at the beach and rode my bike to the ice cream shop. I’d like to try that again.
7. What hobbies/interests do you enjoy other than cycling?
   Do cocktails and dinner count? No? I love baking, checking out independent movies and most things dog-related. In fact, I have my own small business, Silly Monkey Designs, where I make and sell fun dog collars to local shops and at art shows.
8. What one question would you like me to ask the next person? Have you seen my purple pen?
