  • Design systems that don’t exist yet: shipment tracking and visibility; customs/documentation playbooks by country; dangerous goods/export-control procedures; carrier scorecards and cost benchmarks; lead-time standards.
  • Scale the function as the footprint expands beyond US, UK, and EU; keep production, operations, and leadership informed about shipments, landings, and risks.
