Adding trust to sup­ply chains. Jens brings 20 years of inter­na­tion­al expe­ri­ence bring­ing togeth­er blockchain/DLT, inter­na­tion­al trade and part­ner­ship method­ol­o­gy to change how sup­ply chains are upgrad­ed for full dig­i­ti­za­tion. Whether it is cir­cu­lar econ­o­my, trade facil­i­ta­tion, fight­ing coun­ter­feit prod­ucts or upgrad­ing con­sumer engage­ments, the core infra­struc­ture is the same and will fun­da­men­tal­ly change inter­na­tion­al trade. Jens is an expert advi­sor to the UK Par­lia­ment, World Eco­nom­ic Forum and cor­po­ra­tions. Ear­li­er employ­ers include A. P. Moller — Maer­sk and pwc. Jens is also a pio­neer in build­ing pub­lic-pri­vate part­ner­ships to enable bet­ter trade for all, includ­ing co-founder of the Glob­al Alliance for Trade Facil­i­ta­tion (www.tradefacilitation.org) and the Logis­tics Emer­gency Teams with the World Food Pro­gramme.
