About
WHO AM I
10+
Years
I am a sourcing and procurement specialist with over 10 years of experience handling more than USD $21 million in purchases across industrial products, retail goods, and private label items.
I learned procurement by doing it. I negotiate directly with Chinese manufacturers, rebuilt a company's revenue after losing its biggest supplier, and developed white label products that sold out in their first year. Every service I offer comes from something I've actually done, not something I've read about.
I work remotely, based in Manila, serving clients across the US, Europe, and Australia. My time zone works in your favour — I communicate with Asian suppliers during your off-hours, so things move while you sleep.

WHY HIRE ME
You don't just need a sourcing agent.
You need one with infrastructure behind them.
You need one with infrastructure behind them.
Most sourcing freelancers are solo operators with an Alibaba account. I bring 10+ years of real procurement experience, $21M+ in managed supply chains, and a partner network spanning China, South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines.

What this actually feels like
You don't need to learn how international sourcing works.
You need someone who already does — and who tells you what's happening before you have to ask.
You need someone who already does — and who tells you what's happening before you have to ask.
That's the job. Not just finding a factory — being the person on the other end when a shipment is delayed, a sample comes back wrong, or a supplier goes quiet. You shouldn't be the one figuring that out alone, on the other side of the world, at 11pm.
"A full-time procurement manager in the USA costs $60,000–$80,000 a year. I give your business the same depth of sourcing expertise, the same partner infrastructure, and the same accountability — remotely, and at a fraction of that cost. But the real value isn't just the savings. It's knowing that when something goes wrong, you're not the one solving it alone."
