Yisa Wong , VP of Strategic Sourcing at Fossil Group , has spent over 20 years building sourcing operations across fashion and accessories, with stops at Liz Claiborne, Gap, Coach, and now Fossil Group, where she's based in Hong Kong managing APAC sourcing and procurement. She talks through how she thinks about supplier relationships, supply chain risk, and what it actually takes to build a sourcing function that holds up when things go sideways. Yisa also covers what a single-source failure taught her team about vendor base design, how she thinks about the difference between KPI measurement and relationship equity, and why product development experience makes her a sharper sourcing leader.
