Expertise I can answer general business questions on dealing with Chinese suppliers and customers. I can also answer questions about project management, human resources and general marketing. Areas include automotive, import-export, hydro-power, injection molding, quality, not for profit/NGO and others.
Experience I first came to China in 1996 to set up a joint venture purchasing department. I returned in 2004 to work for a not for profit unit of UNIDO promoting hydro-power. Since then I have built one injection molded plastics factory as the project manager and source hydro-power generation equipment.
I have also been involved in transfer of technology from the USA to China, from the USA/Germany to Mexico, USA to Japan. I managed the quality aspects (customers, suppliers, manufacturing, engineering)of starting up several production/manufacturing lines in a new auto component factory in Mexico.
My 22 years of industry experience includes customer management, quality management, account management, program management, purchasing localization, supplier development, new factory start up, new product luanch, etc.
