China Sourcing & Procurement | Supplier Management
Looking for reliable suppliers in China without wasting time on the wrong factories? I help startups, ecommerce brands, and product teams identify qualified manufacturers, compare suppliers, and manage communication with Chinese factories so they can source with greater confidence. With over 10 years of sourcing and procurement experience, I have supported global companies including The Home Depot (Fortune 500) and RadioShack (former Fortune 500). At The Home Depot, I helped develop a dual-country sourcing solution that contributed to approximately $3 million in tariff savings while managing supplier sourcing, cost analysis, and production coordination across China and Southeast Asia. Today I help startups, ecommerce brands, and product teams reduce sourcing risks by finding qualified suppliers, comparing options objectively, and managing supplier communication throughout the sourcing process. What I can help with: ā¢ Supplier and manufacturer sourcing in China ā¢ Factory capability research and verification ā¢ RFQ collection and supplier comparison ā¢ MOQ, pricing, and basic negotiation support ā¢ Sample coordination and specification clarification ā¢ Communication with suppliers in Mandarin and English ā¢ Production follow-up and issue resolution ā¢ Reviewing factory certifications and documentation My approach is practical and structured. I focus on clear supplier comparisons, organized communication, and identifying potential risks early so clients can make informed sourcing decisions. Whether you are developing a new product, evaluating potential suppliers, or looking for manufacturing support in China, I would be happy to discuss your project.
