Giorgi Gudabandze

From Giorgi Gudabandze:

I am an experienced business consultant with a proven track record in the international trade sector and in managing private-sector development projects. I have successfully managed more than 20 projects throughout my career, primarily funded by international organizations and programs such as USAID, EBRD, the World Bank, EU4Business, and the UN, among others. I graduated from the Free University of Tbilisi.

My skills include international trade management, project management, market research, logistics, strategic business development, consultancy, project monitoring and evaluation, grant management and monitoring, report writing, and product development.

My expertise primarily lies in the agriculture and food and beverages sectors. I have been involved in numerous projects focused on developing and promoting the export of Georgian food products to developed markets, including the EU, UK, USA, Japan, Turkey, Canada, EFTA countries, China, Gulf states, and others.

I am also an invited lecturer at one of Georgia's prestigious institutions, Caucasus University. There, I teach several topics within the "Certified Export Management" course, funded by LEPL Enterprise Georgia. Additionally, I organize lectures and training sessions on international trade management as part of various programs.
