Hi everyone, I'm Melda. I'm building a consultancy that helps manufacturers expand into new international markets. My background is in retail buying and category management, and lately I've been working closely with manufacturers. One thing that's working right now: reaching out to people and building new connections. Almost every conversation teaches me something I didn't know before. One thing that's quietly draining me: starting over in a new country while building a business at the same time. Learning Deutsch, growing a network from scratch, and figuring out where to focus my energy can be challenging some days.
