I help food, beverage, wellness, CPG and FMCG businesses source, develop and move physical products toward launch faster.
If you already have a product idea, formula, sample, benchmark product or target category, I can help build the commercial sourcing route around it โ from manufacturer discovery and supplier qualification through pricing, compliance documents, packaging, landed cost and production coordination.
My focus is not simply finding supplier names.
I help answer the questions that determine whether a product can actually launch:
โข Who can manufacture it reliably?
โข What is the realistic MOQ?
โข What will the product actually cost landed?
โข Are the supplier and factory credible?
โข What certifications or compliance documents are available?
โข Can the supplier support Organic, Non-GMO or other required specifications?
โข What are the customs, duty, freight and import-cost implications?
โข Is private label, white label or custom manufacturing the better route?
โข Can packaging, ingredients and production timelines support the target launch date?
โข Is there a faster or lower-risk manufacturing alternative?
For well-defined products, I can run a focused 30-Day Product Sourcing & Launch Sprint to establish the supplier, commercial, packaging and production route required to move the project toward market.
What I can help with
โข Product sourcing and supplier discovery
โข Direct manufacturer identification
โข Private-label and white-label sourcing
โข Co-manufacturer and co-packer research
โข RFQs and supplier outreach
โข MOQ, price, lead-time and payment-term negotiation
โข Supplier verification and commercial qualification
โข Food, beverage, wellness, CPG and FMCG sourcing
โข Ingredient and packaging sourcing
โข Organic / Non-GMO supplier-document review
โข Compliance and certification-document review
โข Customs, duty and landed-cost analysis
โข HTS / tariff research
โข Sample coordination
โข Packaging and labeling coordination
โข Supplier onboarding and production follow-up
โข Second-source and alternative-country sourcing
โข Importer, distributor and qualified buyer research where required
I work across Asian and international manufacturing markets and can communicate with suppliers through email, WhatsApp, WeChat, VOIP and other channels to keep sourcing projects moving.
I also use AI-assisted procurement research to accelerate manufacturer mapping, supplier comparison, quotation analysis, documentation review and supply-risk identification. Final supplier qualification and commercial recommendations remain evidence-based and human-controlled.
Best fit
Food & Beverage | Health & Wellness | Supplements | Functional Foods | Organic Products | Non-GMO Products | CPG | FMCG | Private Label | Packaging
Planning a product launch?
Send me:
1. Product or benchmark
2. Target market
3. Expected quantity / MOQ target
4. Target cost
5. Desired launch date
I will assess the sourcing route and identify the fastest commercially viable path forward.
