Executive Director, GTM Software Solutions – Livingston

Automating Efficiency

 Chadd leads the delivery and continuous improvement of Livingston's TradeSphere software solution, our cutting-edge automation technology for enterprise clients. He joined Livingston through the acquisition of the customs and trade compliance services business of JPMorgan Chase Bank.

 Chadd has a deep knowledge of trade management software and its integration with enterprise software platforms. He and his team help our clients achieve ever-higher levels of regulatory compliance and greater logistical efficiency. Says Chadd: "Our team represents the best, most experienced resource of its kind in global trade compliance, customs, and freight."

Chadd is committed to simplifying trade complexity. "In compliance and international logistics, complexity is everywhere and there are still many manual processes. I'm committed to driving automation that steadily improves efficiency while lowering operating costs."

"Most exciting for me is the continuous improvement aspect. The latest update of our software is yet another big step forward. Giving clients more information, tools, and support services to stay on top of this highly dynamic environment will help them adapt more quickly and maintain more efficient supply chains."

Personal passion: Travel. "Trade is by definition international. Local cultures can dramatically affect international business practices and how our clients and their partners develop and manage their global supply chains. Understanding these nuances helps us identify problems and find better solutions." 

Chadd holds a masters of business administration from Duke University and a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
