I’m an Operations Manager with specialization on E-commerce Product Development, Sourcing and Procurement with over 6 years of hands-on experience working directly with manufacturers and suppliers from China, Turkey, Vietnam, Thailand and more, supporting Amazon and DTC brands from product concept through procurement and beyond.
Beyond remote sourcing, I have on-the-ground experience traveling to trade shows in China and Hong Kong, where I sourced products, evaluated suppliers and negotiated directly in person. This gives me a strong advantage in assessing supplier capability, quality standards, and long-term reliability.
I also bring leadership experience, having managed and trained a team of sourcing agents and coordinated closely with third-party logistics and freight forwarder partners to ensure smooth, on-time deliveries across multiple markets.
What I bring (expert-level):
- Idea generation and product development in collaboration with suppliers and graphic artists
- Advanced China supplier sourcing & vetting (Alibaba + direct factories)
- Supplier evaluation, management and negotiation
- RFQs, POs, sample coordination, and production tracking
- Cost negotiation aligned with margin targets
- Quality control review and issue resolution
-Direct supplier communication (WeChat, Whatsapp, video call and email)
- Team leadership (sourcing agents & external logistics partners)
- Assessment and building workflows (Project management)
-Training, supervision and skills development of tea-----------mbers
Proven experience with:
- Amazon private-label and DTC e-commerce brands
- High-SKU product catalogs
- Founder-led teams needing a senior sourcing operator, not entry-level VA support
- Collaborating with founders and teams from the UK, USA, Australia, Turkey, China, Pakistan and Philippines
I don’t need training or close supervision. I step in, assess your current sourcing workflow, and run supplier communication, team coordination, and execution part-time so you can focus on scaling the business.
If you’re looking for someone who has led sourcing teams, worked directly with Chinese (and overseas) suppliers, I’m a strong fit.
Availability note:
I am only accepting part-time, long-term roles (not full-time). I work best with founders who want a senior sourcing professional who can operate independently and take ownership of sourcing operations.
