With tariffs dominating headlines and reshaping global retail strategy, brands are navigating one of the most complex trade landscapes in recent memory.

In this episode of Retail Remix, host Nicole Silberstein is joined by Rathna Sharad, CEO and Founder of cross-border logistics platform FlavorCloud. With a background spanning Microsoft, UPS, and three decades of global trade experience, Rathna offers expert guidance on navigating tariffs, streamlining international operations, and building supply chain resilience. 

Together, they explore:

• The biggest friction points brands face when scaling internationally — and how to solve them;
• Key markets and categories showing rapid growth in global ecommerce;
• Lesser known implications of the de minimis rule change and what it means for U.S. merchants; and
• Why now is the time to double down on international expansion, not pull back.
