I lead China-based sourcing, supplier development, and product delivery for renewable energy and electronics across African markets.
What I'm looking for
At BBOXX, I lead China sourcing for renewable energy, electronics, IoT, battery, e-mobility, and clean cooking products supporting operations across African markets.
I take products from supplier identification and qualification through OEM/ODM development, testing, certification, mass production, and commercial deployment. I also manage supplier performance, quality processes, procurement planning, logistics coordination, and supply risk mitigation.
Previously at Valeo Automotive Interior Controls, I managed procurement for vehicle platform launches, negotiated with qualified suppliers, built supplier panels, and drove cost-reduction initiatives through development and mass production milestones.
Across 15+ years in sourcing, procurement, automotive, consumer goods, and electronics, I’ve built supplier networks, improved quality and cost outcomes, and worked closely with Product, Engineering, Operations, Finance, and Commercial teams. I work fluently in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
