Summary

Vietnam Product Inspections | SE Asia Quality Assurance |. I have spent the last decade working with Asia in a variety of roles in Product Management/Development, Sourcing & Procurement. Having recently moved to Vietnam, I have built a deep network of SE Asia supply chains that help brands diversify their sourcing strategies to a China+1 model. With a strong background in Home Appliance I assist brands with developing China, Regional or European sourcing strategies. In 2019 I started KOMPAK Micro, a space-saving furniture business focusing on building affordable multi-functional furniture for the world’s cities. KOMPAK is building out a full suite of products for small spaces in the kitchen, bathroom & bedding categories. Our first product launch, the HYBRID storage bed is set to launch 2021 with selected retail partners in North America, Europe & Asia. If you are interested in becoming a retail partner, let’s talk!
