I have been working in customs and trade compliance since 2005, with hands-on experience across procurement, logistics, customs, and international trade. Today, I work for Avery Dennison as a Regional Trade Compliance Manager responsible for multiple business units across the EMEA region. In this role, I serve as a central point of contact for customs and trade compliance matters, supporting teams across customer service, sales, supply chain, logistics, legal, and finance. My core areas of expertise include: • Customs classification • Country of origin and preferential origin calculation • Free trade agreements • Trade compliance processes and documentation • Operational implementation of global compliance requirements What defines my work is a strong operational mindset. Trade compliance is not just about understanding regulations. It is about translating complex requirements into practical and efficient business processes that work in real life. Alongside my corporate role, I founded Comply Trade Solutions — a platform focused on practical trade compliance knowledge, operational guidance, and real-world solutions for customs and international trade professionals. 📘 Explore my practical customs & trade compliance e-books here: https://complytradesolutions.de/shop/ The e-books, checklists, and compliance resources are designed to help professionals simplify daily customs challenges, avoid costly mistakes, and build more efficient compliance processes. I am always interested in connecting with professionals working in customs, international trade, logistics, and supply chain environments to exchange practical insights, operational experiences, and industry perspectives.
