Meeting with the Under-Secretary of The Brazilian Federal Revenue Authority Fabiano Coelho & part of his impressive management team at the International AEO Conference in São Paulo today.

We had an excellent meeting. I have known Fabiano Coelho for a long time & he is a great appointment by Government.

It is always inspiring to meet with Receita Federal leadership. We have worked together since 2013.

The ’XI International Seminar on AEO’ organized by Instituto Procomex in partnership with Receita Federal do Brasil has started in São Paulo, as always in front of a full house lf more than 400 participants.

This year focusing on how to strengthen trade compliance with technology.

Excellent opening speech about the opportunities of technology in customs & trade by my long-term friend & colleague, the legendary Dr. Jorge Antonio Deher Rachid.

This is one of the best customs and trade conferences worldwide with excellent organization and high-level panels with very high value for participants.

Met with my amazing colleague & friend Jonas Lindström, Managing Director of Swedcham Brazil today in São Paulo. Great to catch up.

Swedcham Brasil is doing superimportant work for trade & industry.
