OIC was founded to enable cost-effective sourcing of premium design/brand products from producers in North America and Europe directly to select retailers in the Far East. Using OIC’s proprietary supply channels was much less costly to Asian retailers than sourcing such products via the complex and traditional channels dominated by Far East trading companies. OIC’s strategic approach helped producers increase total sales volumes, retailers had lower product costs and increased competitiveness, while OIC earned its own profits in this business model. After 13 years, annual revenues were $188 million. Major accomplishments included:• Negotiated Joint Venture to design, sell, produce, and erect custom pre-cut “Northwest Best” brand log home and lodge packages for Japan markets• Created Joint Venture partnership with major helicopter maker to produce and install innovative structural aluminum elevated landing decks in Asian urban centers• Established independent export marketing capabilities in OEM brands of auto components for European luxury vehicles and American SUV’s in the Far East• Created and developed direct sales programs to specialized Asian retailers in two separate high value product lines:• Proof 70 (perfect) independently graded USA bullion coins (Gold, Platinum, Palladium and Silver)• Certified art by famous world artists of 19th, 20th, 21st centuries• Achieved attractive ROIs for investors and employees My role as CEO was to strategize, plan, monitor margins and financial status, maintain essential relationships and cultivate new sales prospects and partners. OIC was a customer-centric firm by design, where our mission was to excel in four dimensions: reliable product sourcing, delivered pricing, bilingual sales/service support, long-term relationships.
