February 1, 2010
I.E.Canada, the Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters, has announced the appointment of Joy Nott as president.
“We are delighted that Joy has agreed to take on the position, leading the growth of I.E.Canada as the association continues to address the challenges faced by Canada’s trade community,” said I.E.Canada chair John O’Reilly. “Joy already has an intimate knowledge and understanding of the association, which will allow for a seamless transition.”
Ms. Nott comes to I.E.Canada from her role as vice-president and managing consultant at J.P. Morgan Global Trade Management.
Specializing in customs and international trade matters for both Canadian- and U.S.-based clients, Ms. Nott has more than 20 years of experience in customs compliance. She has extensive knowledge of Canada’s various trade agreements, and has helped companies register for the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and Partners in Protection (PIP) programs. She has also worked with a number of Canadian and U.S. companies to help them better understand Canadian export and U.S. re-export regulations.
Prior to joining J.P. Morgan, Ms. Nott spent a number of years as a senior manager with the public accounting firms of KPMG LLP and Deloitte & Touche LLP as a customs and international trade consultant. She joined the accounting firms after 10 years of varied experience in senior management roles in the customs brokerage and freight forwarding industry.
Ms. Nott has a bachelor of arts from Concordia University in Montreal. She received her qualified customs brokers status in 1990 and her professional customs brokerage status in 1993.
She is currently working towards her professional designation with the Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation (CITT).
“Joy has a passionate commitment to fulfill I.E.Canada’s goals and mission to be the leading voice of the trade community,” Mr. O’Reilly said. “We are confident that with her enthusiasm, organizational ability, attention to detail, and management know-how, I.E.Canada is in good hands.”
Ms. Nott replaces Mary Anderson, who has stepped down from the I.E.Canada presidency after leading the organization for nearly five years.
