The bridge between China and emerging markets
Omair Shad
I sit between Chinese factories and the world's brands, and I make both sides money.

Sourcing
Everything between your product idea and the goods on your shelf. One process, one person accountable, inside the factories and in Mandarin.
I find and vet the factories that match your quality, capacity and compliance needs.
Factory audits, checks on the line and pre-shipment inspection, run by my team on the ground in China.
In Mandarin, directly with the factory. The price you pay reflects what it really costs to make.
Air or sea, consolidated from several suppliers and delivered to your door.
Moved by LightspeedGOOEM and ODM builds with your branding and packaging, and the compliance work handled.
Part of BuildPayment terms and contracts that keep your money safe before, during and after production.
I learn your business, product, target price and timeline, then write the sourcing plan.
I shortlist the factories that fit your quality bar and budget, and I visit them.
Price, quality benchmarks, samples and contract are agreed before production starts.
I watch production, inspect before it ships and move the goods to your door.
Most sourcing agents email suppliers. I walk the factory floor.
A flat fee or a simple percentage. No hidden markup and no surprise charges.
I work from Guangzhou, next to the factories of Guangdong, and I meet suppliers in person.
Twelve years of factory relationships, so work starts the day your brief arrives.
You deal with me from brief to delivery. No hand-offs.
Engagements start with an application, not a calendar link.
