I am driven by a mission to maintain the highest standards of compliance, balancing the letter of law with the dynamics of international trade. My role at Hermès has honed my ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes and foster a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring that our import/export operations run seamlessly and sustainably.In my current role, I respond to trade compliance requests, manage product classifications, and coordinate efforts for regulatory strategy across multiple government agencies.
