Your presence in China —
without building one.
Sinomark helps companies operate effectively in China through a trusted on-the-ground desk in Shanghai. One senior team. Three clear offerings. Continuous execution.
Three clear offerings.
One trusted China platform.
Each offering addresses a different business reality. The platform behind them — senior operators, a Shanghai desk, and a direct line to the founder — is the same.
China Desk
For investors, operators, and companies that need a real presence in China without opening an entity of their own.
- Local representation
- Executive briefings
- Market navigation
Startup China Launchpad
For founders and growth companies exploring partnerships, hiring, and market entry across mainland China.
- Partner outreach
- On-the-ground meetings
- Launch support
Brand Sourcing Office
For brands that need disciplined supplier management, quality oversight, and shipment continuity.
- Factory sourcing
- Production control
- QC and shipment readiness
Keep China moving while leadership stays focused at home.
Travel is expensive. Local talent is hard to retain. Standing up a China entity is a heavy lift most companies don't need. A trusted desk in Shanghai closes the gap — quietly and durably.
- ✓ Reduce the need for frequent travel. We do the in-person work so your leadership doesn't have to fly for every meeting.
- ✓ Gain a trusted local operating presence. Senior operators represent you daily — not a rotating team of associates.
- ✓ Continuity across strategy, partnerships, and sourcing. One team across all three offerings — relationships compound.
Operating discipline, not consulting deliverables.
Every engagement runs on the same cadence — structured weekly updates, direct access to the Sinomark desk, and honest reporting when something needs to change.
Private briefing
A confidential first conversation about your China situation — current presence, pain, or ambition.
Scoped engagement
We propose the offering that fits. Clear monthly structure, no open-ended retainers, no vague strategic work.
Weekly cadence
Scheduled updates and real-time escalation. You always know what's happening in China, in English your team can use.
Senior oversight
Beau and senior Sinomark operators stay engaged throughout. No junior hand-offs, no rotating names.
Beau Giannini
Beau brings a rare U.S.–China profile to Sinomark: a PhD in Technology Management from Tongji University, an MBA from UC Berkeley Haas, and a BA in Chinese Language and Literature from Dartmouth College. He has spent his career operating in the working distance between Silicon Valley and Shanghai.
Fluent in Mandarin and trained inside both systems, Beau carries the combination most cross-border advisors lack — real technical and business training, native-level language fluency, and long-term personal relationships in China built across two decades. Clients work with him directly, not with a layer of junior analysts.
A China desk only works if the person running it is willing to tell you the truth about what's actually happening on the ground. Sinomark exists to make that the default — not the exception. — Beau Giannini, founder
