Background

About Jay Weisbrod

An INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR with global trade experience between the US and the Asia-Pacific Region. My life's passion is to contribute to business management, data analytics, and strategic planning to deliver positive outcomes for organizations operating at the nexus of commerce and geopolitics. I firmly believe that an accurate understanding of history provides vital context to the present, which supports planning for future success. Key competencies include: CROSS-FUNCTIONAL LEADERSHIP-Adept at aligning diverse internal departments towards a common objective delivering positive outcomes to external customers and business partners. The key to this success is my unique approach of combining soft skills in linguistic ability, relationship management, and persuasion with a reputation for making quick and (most importantly) accurate data-driven decisions. MARKET & PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT-Have consistently exceeded volume, margin, and market share objectives through identifying underserved markets, expanding product offerings, and addressing internal inefficiencies to increase operational throughput. UNIQUE BACKGROUND: I have spent nearly one-third of my life living and working in mainland China and Taiwan and traveling extensively around different parts of Asia. My work experience includes roles in education, textile manufacturing, and food processing for both US and Chinese organizations. This diverse background has provided me with a well-rounded perspective that enhances my capabilities in business development, mediation, and relationship building. PERSONAL MOTTO-A Mandarin Chinese idiom meaning "Keep Chipping Away."
