Hi, I'm Michelle

I started M. Jackson Global Trade Advisory because I kept meeting the same person, over and over again: a small business owner who was excited about their first shipment — and completely overwhelmed by everything standing between them and getting it right. Or someone who's been importing for years but still crosses their fingers every time a shipment ships, never quite sure if they're doing it the right way.

Customs regulations. Broker relationships. Tariffs that seem to change overnight. It's a lot to figure out on your own, especially when one wrong move can cost you real time and real money.

I've spent more than 20 years inside that world — not reading about it but doing it. Throughout my career, I've helped organizations strengthen operations, improve supply chain performance, build high-performing teams, implement technology solutions, and transform trade compliance into a strategic business advantage. Today, I bring that same executive experience to businesses that want practical guidance — not complicated consulting.

I'm a Certified Customs Specialist (CCS) through the NCBFAA, and I hold an MBA in International Business — but honestly, the credential that matters most to me is the years spent solving these exact problems for real businesses, in real time.

M. Jackson Global Trade Advisory exists so you don't have to navigate global trade alone. Whether you're new to importing, still learning the ropes, improving an established operation, strengthening compliance, or looking for executive-level operational guidance, I'm here to help you move forward with confidence.

  • Customs & Compliance leadership at RXO, DHL Global Forwarding, and FedEx Logistics

  • NCBFAA Certified Customs Specialist (CCS)
