Stop Guessing Your Supply Chain. Verify Before You Buy. Finding suppliers is easy. Finding reliable suppliers—and knowing they can actually deliver—is where experience makes the difference. With nearly 30 years of experience in international procurement, sourcing, and import/export, I help manufacturers, importers, distributors, and consulting firms make better purchasing decisions and reduce sourcing risks. My work goes far beyond supplier research. I support clients throughout the procurement process—from identifying and verifying suppliers to commercial negotiations, shipment coordination, and export documentation review. How I Can Help • International Supplier Sourcing • Identify qualified manufacturers and exporters worldwide • OEM & private label sourcing • Factory selection based on your technical and commercial requirements • Supplier Verification & Trade Intelligence • Verify suppliers using international trade databases and customs records • Analyze shipment history and export activity • Identify original manufacturers and reduce sourcing risks • Competitor supplier research and supply chain mapping • Procurement Support • RFQ management and quotation comparison • Commercial negotiations • Supplier communication and follow-up • Purchase order coordination • Shipment follow-up • Export documentation review • Import & Export Support • HS Code classification support • Customs documentation guidance • Trade compliance support • Tariff and duty research Industries I have managed sourcing and procurement projects across a wide range of industries, including: • Chemicals & Petrochemicals • Industrial Products • Metals & Raw Materials • Agricultural Commodities • Food Ingredients • Consumer Goods • OEM Manufacturing Trade Intelligence Whenever appropriate, I use professional international trade databases such as Volza, Big Trade Data, Trade Map, and other customs data sources to verify suppliers, analyze global trade flows, and identify actual exporters before making recommendations. Recent Project Experience Recent assignments have included: • Managing international procurement of chemical raw materials for a Turkish importer. • Sourcing industrial products for a Romanian importer from multiple manufacturers in Turkey and China. • Coordinating supplier negotiations, shipment consolidation, freight forwarding, and export documentation. • Conducting supplier verification and trade intelligence research using international customs databases. Working Together Whether you need support with a single sourcing project or ongoing procurement activities, I can work as your outsourced procurement partner and help you make informed purchasing decisions while reducing sourcing risks. If you're looking for an experienced procurement professional—not just someone who searches the internet for suppliers—I would be happy to discuss your project.

I work in trade intelligence and help companies find real importers and buyers using shipment data. Instead of building generic lists, I focus on companies that are already active in global trade. This means you’re not reaching out randomly, you’re targeting companies that are actually buying or selling your product. I’ve worked on projects across 20+ industries including automotive, machinery, food, chemicals, and more. My work usually involves: * identifying active importers/exporters from trade data * filtering companies based on relevance and activity * finding decision-makers (procurement, purchasing, sales, operations, etc.) * building clean, structured lists ready for outreach I also have experience supporting export-focused companies with market research, competitor analysis, and B2B lead generation. I focus on quality over quantity, clean data, relevant companies, and contacts you can actually reach. The goal is always to create something practical that can be directly used for sales and outreach. If you’re looking for accurate trade data and a reliable way to find real buyers, I’d be happy to help.
