Services
Policy Research, Framework Design and Technical Advice
I provide analytical research, framework design and technical advice to support the development and implementation of services trade agreements. This includes mapping domestic regulatory regimes against regional and WTO commitments, designing MRA and recognition architectures for professional qualifications, and preparing concise, decision-ready policy papers for ministers, negotiators and senior officials.
Capacity Building for Professional & Regulated Services
I design and deliver capacity building programs that help officials understand and implement commitments on professional and other regulated services. This includes practical workshops and training for trade ministries, regulators and professional bodies on FTAs, regional agreements, ATISA, GATS, mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs), domestic regulation disciplines and cross-border professional mobility.
Program Support for APEC, ASEAN, Development Initiatives and Inclusive Trade
I support APEC, ASEAN, DFAT and development partners to design and deliver programs that improve trade in professional, regulated and other services across the Asia–Pacific. This includes concept and program design, drafting of project documentation, technical backstopping for implementation teams, and facilitation of regional dialogues that bring together trade officials, regulators and professional stakeholders. I bring a particular focus on designing and implementing measures that support inclusive trade.
How can I help you?
I work with governments, regional and national organisations, firms, regulators, professional bodies - in fact, any actor who is driving or involved with trade in professional, regulated and other services. Especially in the Asia-Pacific.
I can research, analyse, design, build, facilitate, advocate and apply my knowledge and experience to help you achieve your trade in services facilitation goals.
I have experience working directly with digital and AI tools to unlock efficiencies and to accelerate the finding and application of solutions.
I operate from the ground of genuine transparency, independence, relationship and ethics.
