About

I have many years of experience as General Manager in international agricultural trade in the areas of execution, logistics, shipping, insurance as well as international dispute resolution and arbitration (GAFTA/FOSFA/Einheitsbedingungen). A long term stay in Argentina and my function as an arbitrator at various associations are complementary components of such experience. I am interested in subjects and new challenges within the area of trading and supply of commodities.
