PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

I possess a total of 14 years of work experience on the international logistics, foreign trade and direct selling business lines. I helped establish a new logistics agency and promote the agency. Accomplishments include founding a department and filing system compatible with our agent in USA; building a documentation system which avoids manual human mistakes and inefficiencies; and setting up a yearly agreement system with the vendors which provides cost benefits, guarantees delivery and time savings. Utilizing my previous network, I was able to reduce logistics cost by $20K annually. Also, 2 years ago, I started working in a brand new line of business in a position that required both verbal and numerical skills and I quickly adapted.
