I spent 23 years in finance and operations consulting — most of that in a Big 4 environment. I've worked inside enough businesses to know where things break, why they break, and how to fix them.
A few years ago I took on the COO role at a small sunflower oil producer in North Carolina. The business had one revenue line — bottled oil — and it was inconsistent. I saw an opportunity to stabilize it by bringing in imported HO sunflower oil and built that operation from the ground up. That meant finding exporters, negotiating pricing and contracts, managing freight and logistics, dealing with customs and inspections, and making sure product arrived on spec. I worked directly with Ukroliya and Prutul. I learned the business by doing it.
I've completed the full cycle: sourced, negotiated, imported, and sold HO sunflower oil at margin. This isn't theoretical.
Durant Commodities is one person, accountable, straightforward. If I can help you source HO sunflower oil at a better landed cost than you're getting today, I'll tell you. If I can't, I'll tell you that too.
