Alexander Gordin Over 25 years of International Business Experience

Alex has a rare combination of exceptional sales leadership and great negotiation skills. He's tough but fair, demanding but reasonable, and has a sixth sense to anticipate issues before they become disasters. His extensive professional network speaks highly of his credibility and track record. Plus his book, Fluent In Foreign Business, is full of valuable insights on international commerce.

I know Alexander since the time when I worked at the US Commercial Service (US DOC) in early 2k's. We had interacted on several project finance and trade finance deals, which involved export of goods and services from the USA to Russia. Alexander impressed me as a goal oriented and experienced professional who was effectively building communication bridges between Russian and U.S. government officials, between financial institutions, U.S. manufacturers and Russian importers. His excellent education, knowledge of the two countries, of the cultural and political aspects of bilateral relations, of the state sponsored trade support programs and agencies, combined with a great network of contacts made him one of the best achievers in the area of U.S.-Russia trade relationships.

Alex is a high skilled professional and it is a pleasure to work with him on business projects. He has wide vision on things, is sensing people very good and that helps him to navigate himself and his clients the best possible way in a stormy sea of business.

Alexander Gordin is the person that you want to know when it comes to international business strategies and expanding your business globally including project financing. He understands the bumps in the process and is able to successfully navigate and close deals with EX-IM Bank and others. Moreover he has valuable insight on finding and selecting international partners and agents and provides strategies to keep your business growing. He has an incredible network internationally and is able to connect the dots to make your business successful. I enjoyed working with him on his result-orientated projects.

I consider myself very fortunate to have met and worked with Alexander in the very embryonic stages of developing a market in Ukraine, primarily focused on financial institutions. HIs network and experience enabled me and my team to develop meaningful relationships with very sound institutions much quicker that we would have been able to do on our own. His guidance was indispensable in a very emerging market and was proven in the most intense of litmus tests, that being the crisis beginning in 2008.
Alex has an uncanny ability to understand disparate points of view and establish a common ground that more often than not results in a profitable relationship for all parties.
I look forward to my next opportunity of partnering with him

Alex Gordin doesn’t just know his way around the block. He knows his way around the difficult business neighborhoods of emerging markets economies, and he knows how to effectively share his expertise. I participated in his “Developing and Financing International Business Opportunities” conference, part of Alex’s Fluent in Foreign Financing™ series, and also had the opportunity to observe how he and Broad Street Capital drive a large export finance transaction, acting as a trusted advisor not only to his contractual client, the buyer in this instance, but also to the exporter in the interest of the overall deal.
