What I'm looking for
At Miles LLC, I lead purchasing for a product portfolio focused on post-mastectomy products, lingerie and swimwear. I manage approximately €2 million in annual purchasing spend across 7–10 international suppliers.
I source from China, Germany, Hong Kong and Austria, and negotiate purchase contracts and OEM manufacturing arrangements. I also coordinate 60–70 international shipments a year from factory release through customs clearance and delivery.
At Treaton, I sourced overseas suppliers and established OEM manufacturing of medical devices in China. I also participated in certification and localisation work and researched regulatory frameworks for international market entry.
Across my procurement and logistics roles, I’ve handled supplier negotiations, international delivery and customs matters, including disputes over valuation and HS classification. I’ve also supported overseas business operations, including QuickBooks implementation for international entities.
