About Me

Certified International Trade Specialist & LL.M.

Cross-border trade in goods and services, laws regulating it and all complex dynamics that follow are the basis of my daily tasks, the pillars of my know-how and the greatest passion I have. The more I learn, the better I work. The more I achieve, the higher I aim.
