David Bryant

Import-Export Specialist | Trade Services
For the last 20 years, I've made my career in international trade. My key focus areas have been customs brokerage, freight forwarding, NVOCC operations, documentation, import/export compliance, INCOTERMS and foreign to foreign coordinated movements. Outside of operations, I spent many years in business development, marketing, sales management and public speaking. My ultimate goal is to gain full-time employment with a dynamic, forward-focused company and maintain a healthy work/life balance.
