Our Team

The EMEA Bloomberg L.P. Trade Compliance team is part of the Global Compliance team and is responsible for Bloomberg’s compliance with applicable international trade laws and regulations in those countries in which we conduct business operations. The EMEA team has a very broad coverage mandate and is organised to provide support to all the business areas in Bloomberg and work with external organisations, such as Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), Export Control Office, Customs Agents/Brokers, Carriers, Chambers of Commerce and Inspection Agencies accordingly.

This is a fully integrated global team which utilises the diverse skills and experience of all members of the team to succeed in covering many different products and regulatory requirements. It offers an environment to share knowledge and experiences, and to develop individually in a company that positively encourages collaboration and teamwork.
