About
I am Yury Galtykhin. I run a solo consulting practice from Taipei, Taiwan.
I have been building hardware products in Asia for 12 years. China, Taiwan, Vietnam, and others. Dozens of products shipped, from consumer electronics to industrial devices.
Before this, I was COO at a deeptech hardware startup where we built award-winning wearables from scratch (CES 2020 Innovation Award, TIME Best Inventions 2022). Before that, I spent years as a hardware engineering leader working with factories, engineers, and suppliers across APAC.
I work directly with factories and speak their language. If we work together, you will be working with me, not with a junior associate.
Why I am not a sourcing agent
- I do not accept gifts, commissions, kickbacks, or services from suppliers
- I have no financial interest or ownership stake in any supplier I recommend
- I do not push to change your suppliers unless I can clearly justify significant benefit from the change
