Kenny Jen – The Break Dancing CFO Who Revolutionized Vendor Management
James Kennedy chats with Kenny Jen – fractional CFO and co-founder of QuantFi – about the art & science of vendor management: sourcing, sampling, negotiating, and building real partnerships that scale. From break-dancing combo “models” in Excel to modeling CPG margins, Kenny shares practical playbooks for testing products cheaply, picking the right factories/brokers, and sequencing channels (DTC → retail) so your unit economics actually work. He also demystifies cannabis/CBD finance: distribution constraints, banking/payments, tax traps, and why hemp-derived low-dose beverages are changing the game.
