Trade as a Strategy
Trade has earned a permanent seat at the executive table. In today's environment of evolving tariffs, supply chain challenges, and regulatory complexity, trade decisions directly influence profitability, operational resilience, and business growth. Organizations that treat trade as a strategic business function, rather than a compliance requirement, are better positioned to mitigate risk, reduce costs, and create competitive advantage.
Tosca Derrick | Director, Global Customs and Trade Advisory, Baker Tilly
Learning Objectives:
This session will explore:
How the global trade landscape has evolved
What is driving today's heightened trade risks and opportunities, and the practical actions organizations can take to proactively manage tariffs, compliance obligations, and supply chain impacts while aligning trade strategy with broader business objectives.
