About Sunny Shen – Helping European and American SMEs navigate challenges and collaborate effectively with their Chinese Suppliers and Partners
With experience in international business since 2012, I provide hands-on operational support in China for European and American SMEs, helping them navigate language, cultural, and operational challenges in collaborating with their Chinese suppliers and partners.
Having worked with colleagues and clients from 15 countries — including Austria, China, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Singapore, Sweden, the U.S., and Uruguay — building last business relationships with clients in different countries.
Clients see me as their on-the-ground extension, providing practical advice and hands-on operational support to reduce miscommunication, resolve issues, safeguard their interests, and ensure collaborations run smoothly across borders — all while they remain in control.
If you are working with Chinese suppliers or partners and need a trusted local support to help you navigate complexities, please reach out to me with your project context. I’m happy to discuss your situations and explore how we can work together to achieve your goals.
How I Can help you collaborate more smoothly with your Chinese business partners
Managing Chinese suppliers or partners from a distance can be challenging, especially when you face cultural and operational differences. I act as your eyes and ears in China to help you reduce miscommunication, resolve issues when they arise, and keep projects on track while you remain in control.
While I typically work alongside clients in different countries, 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.
