Licensing Executive, Olympic Games
I worked with Kian whilst he designed, developed and launched a range of official licensed products for the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games. The execution, distribution and overall management were a massive success. Kian’s professionalism and keen eye made the difference. The licensed range were sold across all Games Venues and in major retailers.

Co-founder of IKONICK
I met Kian almost 4 years ago now through a mutual friend. Having worked with hundreds of service providers in my career, Kian approaches business in a much different matter. Kian is your partner. The first project we did was for an NBA licensed product, which he overly communicated, was thorough and educational in nature. We learned a lot, and received a great product at a great price. Since then, we have become friends through the years, and gone to trade shows together where I have seen how he operates at a deeper level. Kian is a guy with a growth mindset, that will put your business in the best situation to succeed, regardless of the market conditions. I highly recommend working with him.
Co-founder of Titan Network
There’s nothing this guy that doesn’t know, it’s not just about Kian’s knowledge with Sourcing or Logistics and how to work with suppliers and relationships. His creative flair makes him keep him the best in the industry because no one can match his creativity when it comes to product sourcing and development. Every time I hear Kian speak, he then impresses me again.
Strategy and Scale, Google
Kian is an expert when it comes to product sourcing and development, but it’s his discipline and dedication to the craft that still amazes me. I’ve known Kian for a few years now and never seen him let up on his dreams and passion.

We met Kian while visiting the Canton Fair in April 2018 and he gave us the blueprint for everything we do now to source products. There’s so much more to it than just going to Alibaba.com and asking for quotes or telling the supplier we need our stock ASAP. After listening to Kian speak we also realized that the supplier we were using just wasn’t big enough to keep up with our own growth, which led to us finding a secondary factory that actually had better pricing, faster production times, and quality. We coupled that with the help of a sourcing agent who began handling all of the logistics for us, which reduced our shipping cost across the board. So we had a huge win of lower unit costs for almost every one of our 60 SKUs at the time and lower shipping rates.Kian also recommended we maintain the relationship with our suppliers despite working with a sourcing agent and this actually had a profound impact on our business. The sourcing agent dealt with the day-to-day operations, but we treated the factories like our business partners and friend. We even got to give one of their newly born children an American name, which was an incredible honor because we actually got to meet her in person that next year.Sourcing can be intimidating and even frustrating but Kian breaks it down and helps you realize that you’re dealing with real people who have hopes, dreams, and their own business goals. When you understand that it changes the game and enables your own business and profit to grow almost instantly!
