About

I help companies turn "we should start exporting" into recurring international revenue — and I train the professionals who want to build that skill themselves. Most first-time exporters lose money on avoidable mistakes: the wrong market, the wrong distributor, a first order that never becomes a second. I've spent 25+ years making sure that doesn't happen. I work the operational side of international trade, not the theory. I've opened new markets on multiple continents, negotiated with distributors, and built export operations that keep generating revenue long after the first shipment. Today I lead export and market development at Entegre Food — and I mentor and consult the people and companies who want to reach global markets without paying tuition in costly mistakes. Work with me if you are: - A company ready to move beyond your domestic market - A professional growing into export, international sales, or business development - An entrepreneur who wants a guide who has actually closed the deals, not just read about them What you get: - Hands-on market-entry and distributor strategy that survives past the first order - A practitioner's view of sales, supply chain, and long-term partnerships - A growing edge in using AI to make trade operations faster, leaner, and more competitive After 25 years, three things I stand by: trust is the real currency of international trade; knowledge only becomes an advantage when it's shared and applied; and the strongest growth comes from people who never stop learning.
