Erik Edwards — Consultant

With over 24 years of experience in global distribution, trade, and transportation, I bring a “failure is not an option” mindset while fostering collaboration and high-performance teamwork. As a Licensed Customs Broker, I combine deep expertise in import/export regulations with a track record of delivering measurable results.

I’ve led initiatives that include establishing multiple Foreign Trade Zones including a remote launch in just three months during COVID-19, recovering $13.6M through Customs Drawback and Reconciliation programs, and driving a 30% reduction in freight costs alongside a 50% cut in transit times. My career spans building global distribution centers, optimizing transportation strategies, and ensuring compliance with US Customs, BIS, ITAR, OFAC, and FCPA regulations.

By blending strategic vision with hands-on execution, I help organizations strengthen compliance, unlock cost savings, and achieve operational excellence in global trade and supply chain management.
