He is a negotiations and trade policy expert specialising in accessibly communicating these complex worlds.He has trained hundreds of government negotiators, civil servants and corporate officers all over the world in how trade policy works, how trade agreements are negotiated and how those on the outside can shape their outcomes. He has run training courses for government officials and corporate officers across the United Kingdom, in the Netherlands, India, Argentina, and beyond.Known for his ability to explain the complexities of trade and economics accessibly, Dmitry has been extensively quoted in the media: from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, to Time Magazine and the Economist. He has appeared on TV many times and has been a frequent guest on radio and podcasts, and given evidence to multiple Parliaments on trade issues.Prior to launching his consultancy Dmitry served at the Australian Mission to the World Trade Organization, representing Australia on issues as diverse as agriculture, trade facilitation, women's economic empowerment and economic development. He led negotiations in a number of areas including on rules for developing countries, and negotiated for Australia at the 10th WTO Ministerial Conference and the 14th United Nations Conference on Trade and Development quadrennial. Dmitry built his consultancy off the back of explaining trade issues and especially the trade implications of Brexit on Twitter, where his account is perhaps the most followed of any trade expert in the world.Since being appointed the first Executive Director of the Geneva Trade Platform has helped guide the organization into a position of prominence within the trade landscape. The Platform has hosted the key policy addresses of the United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai and the Executive Vice President of the European Commission, Vladis Dombrovskis, as well as speeches by Nobel Peace Prize winners, the WTO Director-General and dozens of Ambassadors.
