As founder of IESS, Ltd, Ms. Hensley has more than 35 years of experience in all aspects of customs brokerage and compliance. Her specializations include import and export price analysis, billing audits, trade agreements, and in-house training programs. Her first business venture was into the aluminum industry in support of a nationally recognized aluminum producer that required on-site, daily operational support to meet the ever increasing demand of maintaining worldwide relationships. The relationship gave birth to an innovative and dynamic approach to working with large high-volume clients. As a former branch manager of one of the world's largest international logistics and customs house brokerage companies, her insight strengthens her ability to gain the trust and cooperation of customs brokers who are working with IESS clients. With the building of a qualified and enduring team of international trade professionals, Sandra continues to offer supportive, compliant and operationally sound leadership to corporations operating across North America and into Europe. She has supported clients in the printing/packing industry, aluminum, customs brokerage and in select government/military contracting operations.
