‘I would recommend trade compliance to anyone with the ability to distil complex, rigid structures down to a practical reality. Trade compliance rules are a minefield that even the most seasoned professionals cannot confidently claim they have a complete grasp of. If you're willing to constantly be challenged and willing to continuously learn you'll probably fit in well.’– says Samuel Draginich, Senior Trade Compliance Manager, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), Amazon EU and Member of the Editorial Board of CCRM journal.
