Compliance and International Logistics leader with 10+ years of experience developing and improving supply chain and implementing trade compliance programs. 10+ years of experience working with multi-national companies engaging in international business. I’ve successfully worked to develop controls and procedures maintaining compliance while also ensuring current sales and purchasing processes are not delayed. Compliance touches many departments within an organization. Resources and training specific to each department's needs are key in effectively supporting the business and successfully managing risks to the company. Development of strong trade compliance and sanctions compliance programs are necessary in today's political and international climate. Regulations and Sanctions drive new challenges as they continually change and become more tedious. This requires an adaptable compliance program that provides continual support to sales, purchasing, R & D and supply chain in order to ensure regulations and sanctions are followed. I have extensive experience in sourcing strong vendors and developing relationships to better support the needs of our sales team and manufacturing facilities. In addition I have 9 years of contract negotiating and purchasing experience. My project management experience has been helpful allowing me to effectively manage development of large programs.
