Season 5 Episode 10 – Willy Alfaro, Director, Vision & Strategy at the World Trade Organization (WTO). Willy has been in Geneva and the WTO since the GATT days and has had a vibrant experience across the WTO, serving in different capacities across various divisions. Everyone knows Willy, and this is because he is a very knowledgeable and friendly person who, in terms of the Multilateral Trading System, has seen it all. We discussed some influences in his decision to study at the University of Geneva, how he got involved in International Trade, how the GATT has evolved into the WTO, and how the organization has changed. We also discuss some of the challenges ahead and how trade is part of the solution. It was a great conversation, and I can't wait for you to listen to it! Subscribe if you still need to!

Season 5 Episode 09 – Barbara Ramos, Director, Chief, Research and Strategies for Exports at International Trade Centre (ITC). I've had plenty of interesting guests in the over 60 episodes across five seasons, and yet, Barbara stands out amongst them with a vibrant story spanning continents and experiences. Barbara, originally from Brazil, was attracted to International Relations early and has run at it since. She's worked at two Development Banks, an Embassy, and USAID, while also studying at The Fletcher School at Tufts University before joining ITC a few years ago. This is just the CliffsNotes; there's a lot more. We talked about Latin America, Africa, the UN, academia, soccer, and everything in between! She also provides some great replies to the new section in the podcast! Barbara was a delight, and I was thrilled to talk to her in what I can guarantee you is an episode you don't want to miss.

Nir Baranga Jun 25, 2023

Show notes

Season 5 Episode 08 – Nir Baranga, Director, Trade in Services and Investment Department at the Foreign Trade Administration of the Ministry of Economy, Israel. Nir is one of my earliest colleagues at the Ministry. We started around the same time and remain kicking and screaming. He is a frontline negotiator leading bilateral, plurilateral, and multilateral services negotiations for Israel. When he visits Geneva, we usually talk about many things besides trade, and podcasts are one of them. We have wanted to do this podcast for some time, but fitting it into our busy schedules has been challenging. Luckily, during his last visit to the World Trade Organization (WTO) for the ongoing Joint Initiative on e-commerce, we managed to find some time to talk and record this interesting conversation covering his professional career and how his career path has changed a couple of times, and how in hindsight it all makes sense. He also provides an insightful view into what it means to be an International trade negotiator going back to the Trade in Services Agreement negotiation (TiSA), which was one of his first experiences in International trade negotiations. We could have also talked about many other things, but perhaps those conversations are left for another episode. I am working on a couple of episodes, so stay tuned.

Dr. Geraldo Vidigal Jun 11, 2023

Show notes

Season 5 Episode 07 – Geraldo Vidigal, Coordinator, LL.M. International Trade and Investment Law, University of Amsterdam. Geraldo, although young, is a veteran of the International Trade world. Ask anyone interested in trade, and they will know of him. I have known Geraldo for a long time, with our professional careers running in parallel. I had the opportunity to sit down with Geraldo during his last visit to Geneva, and the conversation was a blast! We covered his origin story and how his career has evolved, and at every stage of it, he was confident of being at the best place he should be at that precise moment. It may appear he took the scenic route, but he got to where he wanted to get all along. We also got into some nitty-gritty of trade, but if trade is not your thing, there are plenty of other aspects worth listening to. Geraldo also takes a stab at the new section of the podcast, and he does a great job at it. Stick to the end to listen to that. There are a couple of episodes in the pipeline, so stay tuned. I can't wait for you to listen to this one! Subscribe if you still need to!

Season 5 Episode 05 – Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, Director of the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) in Brussels. Hosuk is a leading author on trade diplomacy, EU-Far East relations, and the digital economy. I enjoyed catching up with him during his recent visit to Geneva. I have known him for a while, and we’ve talked and exchanged messages, but this was the first time I met him, and it was an excellent opportunity to learn more about him and his thoughts on various topics. He knows plenty about diplomacy, International relations, and trade, amongst many other things. During our conversation, we cover his superhero origin story, how trade diplomacy has evolved, and some of the challenges ahead. I was thrilled to get a chance to talk to him and have it on record. You are welcome back anytime, Hosuk! Before even uploading this, many asked when this would be available because he is kind of a celebrity. Well, it is out now!

Stuart had a distinguished career in public service in Hong Kong, serving from 1994 to 2002 and then joining the WTO as one of the OGs Chief of Staff to Director-General Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi, and later became a became Senior Adviser to Director-General Pascal Lamy. He also chaired many bodies, including the General Council, TRIPS and Services Councils, and the Dispute Settlement Body. So he saw it all. We had an insightful conversation covering many years of the WTO history. He told some great anecdotes and reflections that will be of great value to those working in International Trade, those aspiring to work in International Trade, and even those with nothing to do with International Trade! Stuart was a delight, and I was thrilled to have him as a guest, a true multilateralist if I ever met one.

Season 5 Episode 02 – Sainabou Taal Knebel, Head of Fisheries Subsidies at the World Trade Organization (WTO), in Geneva, Switzerland. For the second episode of our fifth season, yes, you heard that right, our fifth season, and episode 56 if you are counting, I had the pleasure of talking to Sainabou Taal Knebel, who leads Fisheries Subsidies work at the World Trade Organization. Sai is passionate about International Trade and her work, which is evident when talking to her. You can't help but feel inspired when you listen to her. She has been all over the World, but during the last few years, she's been in Geneva at the WTO. We covered a lot in our conversation, but it also went so fast because she is such a delightful person. Sai is a consummate professional and a true multilateralist. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

David Bisbee Jan 08, 2023

Show notes

Season 5 Episode 01 – David Bisbee, Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States of America (USA) to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, Switzerland. As we kick off the 5th season of the podcast, I could not think of a better guest than David. I have known David since the beginning of my time working with WTO. We worked on several files, including Trade Facilitation and Government Procurement. David is very experienced in the Multilateral Trading System (MTS), and it is always a delight to exchange views with him, which he is happy to do in and frank manner. This conversation would be a bit like many of the conversations we've had over the years, and we cover a bit of how he sees the WTO and how it has changed since he first arrived in Geneva. However, before we get to that, I was looking forward to hearing more about the evolution of his professional career before he got to Geneva. He traces his career as it evolved from his undergraduate degree and how he leveraged his experience and expertise as he moved on to new assignments. It was a pleasure talking to David, and I was glad he was here to launch the fifth season. I hope you enjoy the conversation! Subscribe; you won't regret it!
