About Us

Founded in October 2019, AVLM was established by two business professionals with a decade of experience living, studying, and working in China. While pursuing their MBAs in Shanghai, they gained expertise in global trade, supply chain management, and Chinese market dynamics, skills that laid the foundation for AVLM.

​

Ashleigh, a Jamaican national, saw the potential of building a bridge for Caribbean companies looking to expand, refine and improve their procurement in Asia. Lionel, from Belgium, partnered with Ashleigh to bring that vision to life, adding his extreme attention to detail, technical background, and network to the partnership. Together, they form a powerful duo.

​

Having navigated the complexities of doing business in China firsthand, the founders saw a clear opportunity: help companies overcome language barriers, time zone differences, and sourcing challenges by offering a trusted, end-to-end procurement service.

​

At AVLM, our mission is to empower businesses across the Caribbean and globally by delivering smart, reliable, and customized procurement and supply chain solutions. We exist to remove the complexity from sourcing, manufacturing, and logistics, bridging the gap between client needs and manufacturers in Asia. 

​

Our vision is to empower businesses across the Caribbean and emerging markets to scale fearlessly, by transforming global procurement into a powerful engine for innovation, efficiency, and growth. We envision a future where even the most remote businesses can confidently access the world’s best suppliers, unlock new possibilities, and compete on a global stage.
