Hey there, If you are importing from China, you already know the risks: middlemen pretending to be original factories, hidden markups, QC failures, missed FBA deadlines, and supply chain disruptions that eat your margins. I am an Italy-born Global Procurement and Supply Chain Specialist operating directly on the ground in China. With 5 years of technical, hands-on experience bridging the gap between Western quality standards and the Asian manufacturing ecosystem, I don't just find suppliers on Alibaba—I physically audit factory floors, tear down Bills of Materials (BOM), and build unbreakable supply chain moats for international brands. From fast-growing D2C e-commerce brands to global industrial market leaders, I manage the entire lifecycle of your product’s journey with real-time, on-site China oversight. What I Bring to Your Business: • Direct Factory Disintermediation: I bypass trading companies to negotiate directly with Original Component Manufacturers (OCMs), securing 35% to 40% cost savings while setting strict framework agreements. • Technical Sourcing Expertise: Deep experience across high-value sectors, including consumer electronics (semiconductors, PCBs, lithium batteries), international D2C e-commerce goods (cosmetics, nutraceuticals, packaging), and premium building materials (Foshan network). • On-Site Quality Control & Auditing: Live factory visits, sample coordination, packaging optimization, and compliance verification (FDA Prior Notice, RoHS, REACH, Amazon FBA inbound requirements). • End-to-End Logistics & Customs: Proficient in Incoterms, HS code classification, documentation auditing (CI, PL, BoL, CoC), carrier benchmarking, and bulk consolidation to reduce overall lead times by 25%. Proven Track Record: • Norse Organics LLC (D2C E-commerce): Managed product tracking, packaging procurement, and international logistics compliance for global cosmetic and nutraceutical lines. • Dometic Mobile Power: Orchestrated demand planning and procurement for a €2M high-value component portfolio, ensuring over 90% critical stock coverage with zero factory stock-outs. • Xera S.r.l.: Scaled supplier On-Time Delivery (OTD) from 80% to 95% within 18 months through rigorous vendor management and KPI tracking. I am fluent in English, Advanced Mandarin, Italian (Native), and Spanish. This multilingual edge allows me to negotiate hard on unit prices, MOQs, and payment terms directly with Chinese factory owners without cultural friction or misunderstandings.
