I am a China-based sourcing and procurement professional with 10+ years of experience across consumer electronics, dietary supplements, packaging, and consumer goods.

My core capabilities include supplier sourcing and qualification, RFQ management, quotation analysis, cost and MOQ negotiation, sample evaluation, supplier performance management, purchasing, and production coordination.

My experience spans sourcing roles at The Home Depot and RadioShack, as well as procurement management at a nutraceutical startup, where I handled supplement ingredients and packaging materials. At The Home Depot, I helped mitigate approximately USD 3 million in potential tariff exposure by introducing a new Tier 1 supplier. At RadioShack, I developed a 19-product tablet accessory line from concept to commercialization, with approximately USD 2 million in first-year purchases.

I currently provide China-based sourcing and procurement support to overseas clients and am open to both long-term roles and project-based opportunities.
