At Armadale Brands, I built a multi-channel portfolio of OEM consumer products to $5M+ ARR. I source directly from Chinese factories, using should-cost models, RFQs, and value engineering to optimize COGS.

For HotMat, I identified a factory charging about three times the market rate, moved production to one of my existing factories, and negotiated factory-funded tooling. The work delivered $1M+ in COGS savings and about $3M in additional revenue.

I also hired and trained a team of five and developed the sourcing methodology and SOPs they used across brands. At Afrishore BPO, I drive business development strategy and secured $4M+ in new multi-year contracts.
