How Colin is building a better working world
“I assist clients understand the key global trade issues facing them vis-à-vis their end-to-end supply chains to increase their visibility to, and awareness of, key customs and trade data for all import and export flows. Colin has assisted numerous client structure significant company-wide projects to create a functional trade operation which is underpinned by C-suite ownership, a trade supervisory committee of relevant stakeholders and an organizational matrix for customs and trade activities bringing in a defined RACI requiring buy-in from all parties included in the matrix. This has enabled clients to create standards, processes and procedures to allow implementation of robust cost-savings and compliance activities across their organizations based on their particular imperative – be it geographical, business unit or issue specific.”
