What I'm looking for

I seek a management role in an international company where I can lead trade compliance, reduce risk, implement process improvements, and drive measurable cost savings while collaborating across legal, IT, finance and operations.

I am a licensed Customs Broker and trade compliance professional with 16 years of experience in global import/export compliance, supply chain and logistics. I have led cross-functional teams to implement compliance programs, broker consolidation, classification, valuation, and origin determination that delivered measurable cost savings.

I have successfully implemented duty drawback programs ($2.5M collected), free trade agreement programs (estimated savings > $1M/year), re-instated and validated C-TPAT participation, and brought HTS classification in-house to reduce entry costs. I regularly advise legal, IT, finance and product teams on regulatory controls, labeling, CITES/Fish & Wildlife, and technology export issues.

I seek to apply my regulatory knowledge, process design skills, and leadership to a management role in an international corporation where I can further strengthen trade compliance, reduce risk, and drive operational efficiencies across global supply chains.
