About the Contestant
Representing: PortMiami (Miami-Dade County)
Years Active: 8
From the shores of Miami to ports worldwide, my career has been a voyage through the heart of the maritime industry. My academic foundation in International Business and an MBA from Florida International University (FIU) ignited my fascination with global trade and its ability to connect communities and economies. Building on this, I earned the prestigious Professional Port Manager (PPM) designation in 2023, a testament to my dedication to mastering the complexities of port operations and trade logistics.
Starting as an intern at PortMiami, in February 2016, Mr. Nimrod Simeon dove into trade statistics and market analysis, gaining insights into the dynamics of international shipping. Each role he undertook, from Cargo Analyst to FTZ 281 Manager, deepened my understanding of trade flows, sustainability initiatives, and global supply chains. Whether working a Net Zero Supply Chain project or fostering partnerships with international delegations, he developed a reputation for strategic thinking and fostering collaboration.
