Where should Trade Compliance sit (figuratively and physically) in an organization? What will be its full remit? What skills are needed? How big should the team be? Who should it report to? What departments should it be close to/work closely with? Do the answers differ for overseas offices?

The answers to these questions – and more like them! – go to the heart of a Trade Compliance strategy and will impact an organization’s cross-departmental management efforts as well as its wider strategic ambitions. So it’s important to get them right.

In this session, Gabrielle Griffiths of trade consultants BPE Global and Tracy Somora, Sr. Global Trade Manager at Arthrex Inc will share their experiences of finding the best (most appropriate) people structures and organizational positioning for the Trade Compliance team. Warning: there’s no one size fits all!
