Director, Global Logistics
Seqirus, A CSL Company
"Following the submission of a detailed argument to challenge the U.S. government import requirements, a new, fully compliant end-to-end process was accepted. The new U.S. import process removed unnecessary documentation and administration, and resulted in earlier product release to the U.S. market. This was a very significant achievement.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for reliable international logistics solutions."
