What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can drive international trade growth, negotiate strategic partnerships, lead cross-border supply chains, and scale innovative B2B or blockchain solutions within collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am an International Trade Advisor and entrepreneur with 15+ years leading global import/export, supply chain management, and startup ventures. I hold a Doctorate in Business Administration and an M.Sc. in Engineering Science, and I have built multimillion-dollar supplier agreements, implemented cost-reduction strategies that improved margins by around 10–15%, and launched B2B and blockchain products.

I am experienced in founding and scaling startups, managing technical and operational teams, and consulting in food industry localization and reverse-engineering. Multilingual and results-driven, I excel at negotiating international contracts, forming strategic partnerships across China, India, the Middle East and Europe, and delivering measurable business growth.
