Support for understanding proposed standards, preparing for negotiations and participating effectively in international standard setting.
Analysis of committee agendas, proposed standards and draft texts, with attention to previous decisions, current developments and practical implications.
Position development, negotiation strategy, scenario planning and preparation for committee discussions.

Training for delegates, chairs and organizational leaders on informed, effective participation in international standard setting.
I bring more than 18 years of experience working on Codex in U.S. federal service. My experience includes leading U.S. delegations to the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the Codex Committee on General Principles, and chairing the Codex Committee on Cereals, Pulses and Legumes.
My approach combines practical negotiating experience with careful analysis of official texts, previous decisions and current developments. The aim is not simply to explain what a document says, but to help clients understand what matters, what options are available and how to prepare.
I welcome assignments that advance science-based food safety, fair practices in food trade and effective participation in international standard setting.
