As a sourcing agent based in Nanjing, China, I help international businesses find the right factories, get competitive pricing, and make sure what ships is actually what was agreed. Before going independent, I spent 3 years in supply chain at one of the world's most admired technology companies — the kind of place known for running one of the tightest supply chains on the planet. Before that, 13 years at a German logistics firm. I also lived in Singapore for a few years, so I understand how international clients think and communicate — not just how Chinese factories operate. On the ground, I've been doing this for six years. My longest client is a Danish company I've worked with for over 7 years. When we started, they were running out of a garage. Last Black Friday, they did nearly $1 million USD in a single day. I manage a few hundreds of SKUs — sourcing, quality checks, supplier relationships, shipments, everything. What I can help with: Product sourcing on 1688 and through direct factory networks Supplier vetting and price negotiation Quality inspections — PPS, DUPRO, PSI Multi-factory coordination and consolidation CE certification and compliance for EU markets Kitting, co-packing, and shipment to 3PLs Product experience includes: beauty devices, home fitness equipment, massagers, wellness products, consumer electronics, and premium packaged goods.
