About Sunny Shen – China-Based Consultant and Interpreter Helping Western Companies Work effectively with Chinese suppliers and partners | Since 2015
Hi, I’m Sunny — a native Mandarin speaker and fluent in English, based in China.
With over a decade of real-world experience in Chinese-Western business, I provide hands-on support to help Western teams successfully manage their China-facing projects, even when challenges arise.
In 2012, I started my career as an international salesperson in charge of business development in the European and American markets, and since 2015, I’ve worked as a consultant & interpreter, supporting clients in the same markets in their China sourcing, supplier management, and partnership projects on-the-ground in China.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked with colleagues and clients from 15 countries on different projects, including Austria, China, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Singapore, Sweden,the United States, and Uruguay, reaching high customer satisfaction and building lasting business relationships.
Clients see me as their trusted local bridge in China, helping them bridge communication, cultural, and operational gaps, ensuring that projects stay on track despite obstacles.
Whether you’re navigating a new project with Chinese suppliers or managing long-term partnerships, I offer hands-on support and local insight to help you bridge the gap between Western expectations and Chinese business realities, ensuring smooth collaboration with Chinese suppliers and partners.
How I Can Help You Bridge Communication Gaps and Work Confidently with Chinese Suppliers or Partners
Managing China-facing projects can be a complex challenge for Western businesses, especially when issues arise. I offer practical advisory and hands-on support in China to help you:
• Work effectively with suppliers who truly align with your goals
• Avoid miscommunications that cause delays or costly issues
• Resolve issues before they escalate
While I typically work independently helping my clients resolve China-related challenges, I have a business professional network in China that I can tap into for larger projects. For instance, I cooperate with the talented China-based Finnish creative director, photographer, filmmaker, and drone operator Tuomas Harjumaaskola, for high-quality imagery across Asia.
