Dmitry Grozoubinski is a negotiations and trade policy expert known for his superpower: an ability to explain the complexities of trade and economics. A former Australian trade negotiator and current Executive Director of the Geneva Trade Platform in Switzerland, he has trained hundreds of government negotiators, civil servants and corporate officers all over the world in how trade policy works, how trade agreements are negotiated, and how those on the outside can shape their outcomes. Dmitry has appeared on TV multiple times, is a frequent guest on radio and podcasts, and has been extensively quoted in agenda-setting media from the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal to Time Magazine and the Economist.  Prior to launching his own consultancy, Dmitry represented Australia at the World Trade Organization on such issues as agriculture, trade facilitation, women's economic empowerment and economic development. He negotiated for Australia at the 10th WTO Ministerial Conference and the 14th United Nations Conference on Trade and Development quadrennial. Dmitry built his consultancy off the back of explaining trade issues and especially the trade implications of Brexit on Twitter, where his account is perhaps the most followed of any trade expert in the world. Since being appointed the first Executive Director of the Geneva Trade Platform, he has helped guide the organization into a position of prominence within the trade landscape. The Platform has hosted the key policy addresses of the United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai and the Executive Vice President of the European Commission, Vladis Dombrovskis, as well as speeches by Nobel Peace Prize winners, the WTO Director-General and dozens of Ambassadors. Commentators have welcomed his first book, Why Politicians Lie About Trade (Canbury), as an entertaining and informative introduction to international trade. The Financial Times called it "great", while the Lowy Institute in Australia hailed its "wry and sometimes mischievous sense of humour." In his review, Justin Brown of the Lowy Institute wrote: "For some time, there has been a clear gap in the market for a guide to trade policy to help those with an interest to gain a better understanding of this important field and enable them to engage more actively in trade policy debates. Dmitry Grozoubinski's Why Politicians Lie About Trade fits the bill admirably."
