What I'm looking for

I am well-suited for multinational corporations (MNCs) in the FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods), import and export trade, supply chain management, or cross-border e-commerce sectors, particularly those with robust operations in Japan, Southeast Asia, or global markets. I am seeking roles such as: Procurement Director, Supply Chain Director, General Manager of Trading Business.

With 23 years of experience in the imported FMCG industry, I have built a career centered on procurement, supply chain management, and business development. Starting as a procurement clerk at Hangzhou Lianhua Huashang Group, I progressed to roles including Overseas Direct Procurement Director, Cross-border E-commerce Director, and eventually General Manager Assistant at Hangzhou Yuanhui Import and Export Co., Ltd.

My key achievements include establishing a global supply chain system with a focus on Japanese brands (Kao, Shiseido, Calbee, etc.), growing annual revenue from ten million to nearly one billion yuan, and building a leading omni-channel service provider for imported goods. I have expertise in strategic planning, team management, and innovative business model development, such as cross-border e-commerce platforms and overseas direct procurement systems.

Educated in English, I also have experience in foreign trade and translation, enhancing my cross-cultural business capabilities. My career is marked by consistent revenue growth, industry recognition, and the ability to transform organizations into market leaders.
