Such a great week in Montreal last week! Had a chance to catch up with some Certified International Trade Professionals - #CITPs and chat about Forum for International Trade Training (FITT) and how CITPs can help organizations mitigate risks and grow successfully in international markets. Thanks so much for the insightful meetings Zeeshanali Fazal, MBA, CITP, of Export Development Canada | Exportation et développement Canada and Matthew Lewis, CITP and Leonel Chuliver, MBA, CITP/FIBP of Desjardins Really looking forward to continuing our discussions.
