My good friend Taimur Matin has agreed to speak with us for our June Professional Development Meeting (PDM). He grew up in Pakistan and worked in Dubai for a number of years and has an international perspective that I think we all should be exposed to. The June PDM will be small so sign up early. Check out a brief bio on Taimur below:

Taimur Matin has spent the last 5 years working with APL in Dubai, UAE on international trade. Specializing in containerization and ocean freight, Taimur, has unique knowledge dealing with customs, INCOTERMS, commodities, and international relations. Taimur took a break for international shipping to complete his Master of Science in Global Logistics/Supply Chain from Arizona State University.

Taimur will give his presentation on international trade and commodities including process for international trade, how companies can ensure profitability and reduce risk, and how the commodities market effects both the macro and local economy. Join us for a great discussion on June 16^th as we take a deeper look into what it takes to successfully manage an international supply chain.
