Wayo

"My journey into manufacturing began during my time as Chief of Staff at Alibaba North America. I was able to see firsthand the intricate challenges businesses face when trying to source products from overseas factories — delays, miscommunications, and a lack of transparency made the process painful, especially for smaller companies. I saw an opportunity to create a solution that would make custom product sourcing easier, faster, and more affordable. This experience, combined with my passion for entrepreneurship, led me to co-found Wayo, a platform designed to streamline global supply chains using AI. What’s most exciting to me is the idea that Wayo can democratize access to high-quality and cost-effective manufacturing. We’re giving small and medium-sized businesses the tools and resources to compete with larger companies, all while simplifying a process that’s been notoriously complex. This is more than just about technology — it’s about creating opportunities for businesses to innovate and grow without the typical hurdles that come with global manufacturing."
