Michelle X.

Currently working from Shanghai, China, I help international companies understand the market, find the right local partners, and execute when they do not yet have a China team. Think of me as a practical China desk. I combine market research, bilingual business development and local follow-through. I can identify and qualify distributors, clients, suppliers and strategic partners; approach them in Mandarin; represent you at trade fairs, meetings or factory visits; and turn field information into clear next steps. My background spans technology and experiential projects, luxury hospitality, and international education. Earlier in my career, I supported 120+ projects and events across Shanghai and New York, and later worked in the UAE with international institutions, companies and cross-border partners. This range helps me communicate comfortably with both senior decision-makers and local operators. • China market and partner research • Distributor, supplier and client outreach • Trade fairs, site visits and local meetings • China-side project coordination and follow-up I speak Mandarin and English fluently and some basic French. Work in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and other cities can be arranged. I am also open to remote or short-term projects connected with the UAE and U.S. markets. Clients work directly with me. I am hands-on and straightforward about what is confirmed, what still needs verification and what should happen next—with no hidden supplier commissions or undisclosed markups. If you need someone who can research, communicate and follow through in China, send me your objective and current stage.
