DTC Supply Chain Consultant | Shopify Inventory Planning | Forecasting

I help DTC e-commerce brands optimize their supply chain, inventory planning, and cross-border operations. With 18+ years of experience in sourcing, procurement, inventory management, and Shopify operations, I've worked with growing brands to improve inventory visibility, streamline fulfillment, and build practical systems that support better business decisions. My expertise includes inventory forecasting, replenishment planning, supplier management, China sourcing, EU & UK 3PL operations, landed cost analysis, and operational dashboards. I enjoy turning complex workflows into clear, scalable processes that save time and reduce costly mistakes. I'm comfortable working across both strategy and execution—from evaluating suppliers and optimizing purchasing decisions to building reporting tools and improving operational efficiency. I believe the best supply chain systems are simple, reliable, and built around the way a business actually operates. My goal is always to provide practical solutions that are easy to maintain and create long-term value. **Tools:** Shopify, Google Sheets (Apps Script), Looker Studio, Notion, Slack, ClickUp **Languages:** English | Chinese (中文)
