What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead sourcing, imports, and e-commerce operations with strong supplier development, factory negotiation, and quality management. I have experience managing TikTok Shop, Amazon, and Mercado Libre stores, including product listings, image editing, descriptions, and order management.

I’m an international purchasing, import, and supplier development specialist with more than 20 years of experience in the electronics and home appliances industry. I bring deep knowledge of the Chinese market through 12 years of living in China, managing operations directly from Shenzhen and Shanghai.

Across my roles, I’ve led direct factory negotiations, quality management and product inspections, international logistics coordination, and trademark registration and brand protection. I’ve also managed supplier development and evaluations, launched new products, and established reliable supply chains that optimize costs while ensuring compliance with quality standards for high-level companies.

Additional hands-on experience managing online stores and marketplaces including TikTok Shop, Amazon, and Mercado Libre. Skilled in product listing creation, image editing, product descriptions, order management, customer support, and day-to-day marketplace operations.
