Dear Friends & Colleagues, I would like to share some exciting career news with you all. I have begun a new (semi-retired) phase in my professional career - as my own boss! Therefore, last week, I have said a sad goodbye to DHL (including my wonderful Europe Customs & Regulatory Affairs team) in order to embark on this new adventure under the business name of Wrightwise B.V. based in Belgium. I will provide consultancy services independently and collaborating with esteemed colleagues, such as CT Strategies, on a range of border management topics including Customs, trade facilitation and aviation security (cargo). My website will soon be up and running, however, in the meantime if you wish to get in contact with me, I can be reached via my new work email address: [email protected]
