He helps importers and exporters get ahead of the chaos that hits every container shipment, from rolled bookings to missed cutoffs to demurrage bills nobody saw coming, so they can cut costs and reduce risk before those disruptions turn expensive. Duncan is also a regular voice in the industry, hosting live demos and webinars with Gnosis leadership and sharing what he sees across hundreds of shipments with customers and prospects alike. He is based in Charleston, South Carolina.
