Tom Gould is joining Flexport as its vice president of customs and trade advisory, Flexport said in a blog post. “Tom is joining Flexport to help it scale its trade advisory services, spanning tariff mitigation, classification services, duty saving and deferment strategies, plus more,” a Flexport spokeswoman said in an emailed statement. “Tom is joining at a pivotal time as Flexport’s clients navigate Twitter diplomacy and face an increasingly uncertain business environment.” Gould was previously with Sandler Travis, where he was senior director-customs and international trade.
