Short bio
Maxwell Mukaria is a Kenyan entrepreneur based in Shenzhen, China. Through MAX.INC he works as the point man for businesses anywhere in the world that need something from Asia: he gets them where they need to go, what they need, and who they need. He verifies factories in person, shows landed costs open-book, manages orders and opens doors, and does the same in reverse for Asian companies entering Africa, the Gulf and other markets. He learned the trade with his own money, sourcing for his own businesses, before doing it for clients.
