You’ll hear how Laura’s team:

– Sourced over 80+ manufacturers across Asia, Europe, and the U.S.

– Landed beautiful, custom walnut & aluminum packaging at ~$5 per unit

– Navigated tariff risk, lead times, and sampling strategy

– Used Filipino talent for affordable, world-class execution

– Identified future margin unlocks, including raw material sourcing and toll manufacturing
