Hi,
I am Sheikh M Usman and I am a Foreign Trade & Finance Expert with over 15 years of experience in leading trade finance operations, including serving as the Head of Trade Finance. Throughout my career, I have built a strong foundation in providing strategic trade finance solutions, focusing on the unique challenges of cross-border transactions, risk management, and compliance.
My expertise spans a broad range of trade finance instruments such as Letters of Credit (LCs), Trade Credit Insurance, Documentary Collections, and Supply Chain Finance, with a deep understanding of the regulatory frameworks that govern global trade, including UCP 600, Incoterms, URR522, and URDG758. I have also gained specialized experience in managing Government LCs and Guarantees (LGs), offering tailored solutions for complex, high-value transactions.
In addition to my technical expertise, I hold an MBA, have completed certifications from BAHL, and am a qualified JAIBP professional. These qualifications, combined with my practical experience, allow me to effectively analyze financial data, assess creditworthiness, and navigate the intricacies of international trade.
I am highly skilled in building and maintaining client relationships, providing strategic advice, and delivering solutions that are not only aligned with business goals but also compliant with global standards. Additionally, I am familiar with goods related to AKS and PSW, which further enhances my ability to offer tailored solutions in diverse industries.
By leveraging my extensive experience, global trade insights, and strong communication skills, I am dedicated to helping organizations optimize their trade finance strategies, mitigate risks, and thrive in an increasingly interconnected and regulated marketplace.
