Available to hire
I help businesses source, develop, and deliver products directly from manufacturers without the usual inefficiencies.
With 10+ years of experience in procurement and product development, I manage the full process: sourcing suppliers (China, Turkey, South Africa), negotiating pricing, coordinating samples, overseeing production, and handling logistics.
I’ve worked across branded merchandise, e-commerce products, and custom manufacturing, always focusing on cost efficiency, product quality, and reliability.
Beside this brand building, e-commerce, strategy and international trade fashion design etc.
If you need someone who can take ownership of your product sourcing and execution and actually get things done I’m here to help.
