Neil J. Kay, President and CEO
Neil founded Cisco Sales Corp. and California International Sales Corp. in 1977. A creative designer and inventor, Neil holds numerous patents and trademarks. He has overseen the coming to life of hundreds of innovative ideas and products.
Neil completed his education at California State University Northridge, and the University of Southern California. During college, he worked for Hiraoka & Co. Los Angeles, a Japanese based trading company, traveling to Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong to work in their Asian offices. He subsequently joined their Taipei office and handled their sourcing and inspection, as well as communications with their US office and customers.
Because of this experience, Neil understood the difficulty met by many foreigners wishing to conduct business in Asia, and Cisco was created. Long before China was opened to US citizens, Neil received a special visa through Chinese trade officials in Hong Kong, and the experience as a trade pioneer allowed him to cultivate enduring relationships throughout China’s vast manufacturing base.
With a full understanding of product engineering and manufacturing capabilities, as well as the ability to communicate in Chinese, Neil has created a dynamic, reliable, and economical procurement company for US and Canadian clients.
