Every engagement is governed by NDA — these are the archetypes, not the names.
Snapshot 01
Global toy & leisure manufacturer — China rebalance
80–85% of BOM concentrated in China
Board mandate to cut concentration without breaking the P&L. V3 qualified alternates across Vietnam, India, and Mexico; ran staged awards into IP‑sensitive categories; co‑owned the PPAP timeline with engineering.
20–30%
China volume shifted in ~12 months
Snapshot 02
Tier‑1 industrial OEM — supplier recovery

Typical stabilization window

8–12%
Tail‑spend savings realized
