The Rodolfo Rivas Project

Season 5 Episode 01 – David Bisbee, Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States of America (USA) to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, Switzerland. As we kick off the 5th season of the podcast, I could not think of a better guest than David. I have known David since the beginning of my time working with WTO. We worked on several files, including Trade Facilitation and Government Procurement. David is very experienced in the Multilateral Trading System (MTS), and it is always a delight to exchange views with him, which he is happy to do in and frank manner. This conversation would be a bit like many of the conversations we've had over the years, and we cover a bit of how he sees the WTO and how it has changed since he first arrived in Geneva. However, before we get to that, I was looking forward to hearing more about the evolution of his professional career before he got to Geneva. He traces his career as it evolved from his undergraduate degree and how he leveraged his experience and expertise as he moved on to new assignments. It was a pleasure talking to David, and I was glad he was here to launch the fifth season. I hope you enjoy the conversation! Subscribe; you won't regret it!
