About Brian Su
I serve as an Independent Director and Chairman of the Compensation Committee at High-Trend International Group (NASDAQ: HTCO), where I support executive strategy, governance, and cross-border compliance. With more than three decades of experience across public administration, international business, and risk management, I bring a steady, pragmatic approach to board leadership.As Founder and President of Artisan Business Group, Inc, a U.S. consultancy focused on cross-border investment and geopolitical risk, I have advised enterprises and investors throughout the U.S, China, Latin America, and other global markets. I continue to advise clients from all over the world up to this date, supporting international projects in energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and technology with a combined value exceeding US $1 billion.Before entering the private sector, I spent 16 years in public service with the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Office of Governor Jim Edgar. That foundation drives my commitment to transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship.I believe strong governance is built on integrity, independent oversight, and disciplined risk awareness. I focus on helping boards navigate regulatory complexity, global expansion, and long-term value creation, and remain open to additional board roles that value strategic independence and international perspective.
