International Trade and Forfaiting Association

Joined today by Joy and Clarissa, both also co-hosts of TTP Studios.

So we're here on location at the ITFA Annual Conference in Split.

So really happy to be here.

We figured we'd, uh, as co-hosts of, of TTP, as some of the editors, we'd sit down and have a little chat about the state of the media and the importance of, of covering media and the role that we have in this industry.

My name is Eleonore Treu, and I am Director of Trade Finance Week for ICC Austria, as well as the editorial board member for Trade Treasury and Payment.

And today at ITFA's 52nd Annual Conference, I'm joined here with two seasoned experts in trade finance, Geoff Wynne and Alex Gray.

Uh, and I will introduce them in a short second, but before that, um, our topic of today will be education.

Education in trade finance in a broader sense, and education in trade finance in emerging markets specifically.

I'm a partner in the, uh, London office of, uh, Sullivan & Worcester, an, um, an American law firm.

And I head that office, and I also head our trade and emerging market, uh, practice.

Um, I'm also on the editorial board of, um, TTP, uh, and I'm on the ITFA Market Practice Committee.

So that's my sort of, um, the current job.
