Hailie Fan
@hailiefan
Strategic procurement and sourcing manager with 10+ years optimizing global apparel supply chains.
What I'm looking for
I am a resilient, results-driven strategic procurement and sourcing manager with over 10 years of global experience in apparel merchandise sourcing, supplier management, and production tracking across kids, women’s, and men’s categories. I specialize in developing and executing sourcing strategies, negotiating favorable commercial terms, and mitigating production risks to deliver high-quality products on time.
At Xenica Limited I implemented RFX processes, improved lead times by 15%, restructured vendor contracts to move 90% of suppliers from deposit to open credit, and led supplier evaluation trips to diversify the supply base. Previously, as Merchandising Manager at IZ Direct, I led a 20-person team, boosted sample hit rates from 50% to 85%, launched a top-selling denim line, and resolved major production bottlenecks for large-volume shipments.
I thrive in fast-paced, multicultural environments, collaborating with cross-functional teams on quality assurance, product design, and compliance. I bring strategic problem-solving, outstanding negotiation, and a track record of driving efficiency and measurable results across sourcing, product development, and supplier relationship management.
