Jessie Zhu
@jessiezhu
Senior global supply chain and operations leader specializing in cross-border sourcing, async logistics architecture, and vendor performance.
What I'm looking for
I am an International Operations and Global Supply Chain Expert with 17+ years driving global sourcing, entity setup, and cross-border logistics across Asia, Africa, and North America. I bridge digital-first e-commerce supply chains with high-stakes, large-scale industrial procurement, especially when the operational risk is high.
I single-handedly launched an international corporate branch from scratch in Liberia—handling entity registration, banking infrastructure, local government affairs, custom clearances, and complex trade compliance. I led procurement for a Chinese Central SOE mining project, including negotiations for $300 million multi-year fuel oil and asphalt contracts.
In recent work, I engineered and independently operated a comprehensive, remote end-to-end Amazon North America FBA supply chain architecture for 50+ SKUs, maintaining a 100% on-time delivery rate across volatile shipping lanes. I built predictive demand forecasting and inventory modeling systems that reduced storage overhead by 10%.
I thrive in high-autonomy, location-independent environments where asynchronous communication, meticulous documentation, and predictive data modeling keep operations running flawlessly. From vendor evaluation matrices (KPI/SLA) to contract negotiation and trade finance (L/C), I bring structure, speed, and clarity to international operations.
