Bangladesh RMG, from the inside
I lead merchandising for European fashion brands at LPP S.A., 3 million pieces a year, 35 vendors, 97% on-time delivery. And I believe the next decade of garment manufacturing belongs to people who pair floor experience with technology.

Featured writing
Short, useful articles on costing, sourcing, compliance, and AI in apparel, written between factory visits, not from a desk above the industry.

How ZDHC's shift from wastewater to sludge governance is creating new compliance challenges and infrastructure priorities for Bangladesh's apparel industry.

What I bring
FOB pricing built from yarn math up. Six buying seasons a year since 2011, every negotiation backed by raw-material data, not guesswork.
See the track record →35 active vendors, 8 onboarded in 2025–26, vendor-sharing strategies across five European brands. Capacity is a plan, not a hope.
How I run it →Studying and applying AI in real merchandising work, reporting, analysis, communication, and writing about what actually helps.
