As an experienced Trade Consultant and Customs Compliance Specialist, I bring over a decade of expertise in navigating complex international trade regulations and ensuring compliance in logistics and supply chain operations. With a strong background in law, bolstered by a Bachelor of Arts in Law from Dublin Institute of Technology and a Master's degree from Nicolaus Copernicus University, I have a deep understanding of global trade standards and compliance requirements. My professional journey includes significant roles at Optimum Customs Consulting Services, where I advise on import and export regulations, optimize Free Trade Agreements, and provide customs clearance documentation support. Previously, at Livingston International, I led compliance initiatives, monitored regulatory changes, and provided strategic guidance on trade compliance matters, particularly during the Brexit negotiations. Fluent in English and Polish, I am adept at managing trade compliance programs, conducting risk analysis, and delivering tailored customs training, all aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing delays in customs processes.Tech Stack
